To be fair, it seems all petrol car models from that era onwards are robust and reliable too! My previous car was a 1982 Renault 14, handed over to me by my father. By 1996, with 120000 km that car had carburator and distributor issues that left me stranded on the roadside quite a few times. The Focus has had zero mechanical problems in 18 years doubling the distance. I believe gasoline engine technology did a quantum leap in the 90s decade.
