Somebody is driving a beautifully maintained Austin 1800 mk 1 around Nowra as a daily driver - it would be 50 years old next year (and still nicer inside than most modern cars on the market)!
I know some of my fellow Territory owners (like Mechan1k - we've both owned since 2004) have been lucky with their car. Our first one wasn't so good in the long run, the usual Ford lackadaisical stuff. The second one has a few little "signs" so fingers are crossed. Yes the engine will probably last a very long time but that's not all there is to a car. Very likely our next car will be a Skoda - at least the body and mechanics, as well as the engine, are still solid after 200,000 (in 6 years for that car), as I found last year. The Octavia is just a rock of a car. |
