Depends on the vehicle or engine - VW TDIs are commonly known to be a robust high mileage engine, half a million miles and up aren’t unheard of.
If you’re talking about interior and finish components though yes they can suck
- vr46 4y agoMy 1989 MR2 could take it all, except being rammed off the road. My 2013 A6 is several orders of magnitude nicer to be inside than the 2011 Lexus, with a similarly better ride. Reliability isn’t everything. The 2001 QX4 was close to covering both worlds, though, I know the Japanese manufacturers can get it right :)
- dieselgate 4y agoYeah definitely agree with you there. I really wish there were more made-for-US Japanese diesels around but that’s purely preference (for biodiesel)- import JP cars are pretty common on the west coast but that’s not my preference. Still sorely miss my ‘92 Nissan hardbody, ‘03 Toyota echo, and ‘80 civic to this day but assume they’re all still being driven. Always thought the mr2 was a super sweet car! Edit: and fwiw I’ve been seeing a diesel Corolla on craigslist around Seattle but they want like 12k for it - maybe that thing should get put in a museum
