My 2012 Toyota Tacoma has no screens, no remote door locks, no power windows or seats. After 11 years and 130k miles, everything still works perfectly. I dread the day I have to replace it. Hopefully that will be in at least another 100k miles.
Simple, mechanical cars (and trucks) don’t seem to exist anymore. It’s a shame.
- Fomite 3y agoOne of the things I love about my VW GTI is I managed to get the "Wolfsburg Edition", which had everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. Including a lot of physical buttons and no screen in the center console.
- Bagged2347 3y agoWhat model year is your GTI?
- Fomite 3y ago2013 - I think.
- pcurve 3y agoAs long as you don't tire of it, chances are, you will have no problem driving it for another 11 years and 130k miles. In fact, I'm very confident. I have a 2014 mazda 3 manual hatch. I don't think I'll ever sell this car. ever.

- jimt1234 3y ago130K? Pfft. Those are rookie numbers LOL. My Tacoma recently turned over 300K, and it still runs great. I've never had any problems with it.
- talldatethrow 3y agoPeople are currently paying $10k+ for 250k mile 2004 Toyota 4Runners. My family has one with 230k and there isn't a single hesitation about using it to tow a trailer across the US. Plus endless forum support if you do have a problem. Easy to work on. You can retire in that vehicle if you like.

Love it. 200k is middle age and they'll send you a sticker once you reach it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Toyota/comments/vt4yax/got_my_200000_mileage_club_window_cling_from/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Toyota/comments/vt4yax/got_my_20000... If you get to 1,000,000 miles, they give you a free car.
- ex3ndr 3y ago130k miles? virtually any car can do this without major problems.
- mym1990 3y agoThey do! You're driving one :D but in all seriousness, they are out there, but the ones still in relatively good condition are a pretty penny.
