Most reliable/abused car you ever owned/couldnt kill!

a D reg 1.3 mk2 golf (4speed, no pas or anything else) bought for £250, drove for 20,000 hard miles in 6 months and sold for £250 without a penny spent on anything other than oil / filter change.  My mates bro bought it, kept it almost a year and sold it for £250.  Then, some scum bag pinched it from its newest owner.  Sadly, golfie was never recovered...   :-({|=

I reckon I would buy that car back tomorrow! Would have to be no more than £250 quid though!!

Mid 1980's VW polo... the automotive equivilent of a cockroach... i drove it like a car thief, never serviced it, and it never broke down...

Another shout out for Fiat Unos!

I had a 1.4ieS on an M plate and it was mega- I wish I had never sold it!

We got it 4 years ago on 62000 miles, i had it til' a couple of months ago on 108,000, it let me down once only when the alternator melted on the M6.

It had a small engine bay fire involving injector cleaner
It rescued some mates from a greenlane a series 2 got stuck on
It waded about a foot and a half to get me home one night
It used to carry, 4 kayaks, 4 people and gear to and from north wales on a regular basis
It towed a citroen C15 van a rover 214 and an argocat in its time

Used to go all over the country with me, Scotland (twice) wales all the time, devon, cornwall, liverpool etc etc.

Best of all it had a power to weigh ratio of 104 horsepower per ton and revved like a goodun, embarrased many a chavved up saxo! You could spin the wheels in first second and third in the dry, was hilarious to drive fast to because any fast cornering used to cock a wheel!

our VW passat, done 145,000 miles and still going. she has had everything from hand brake turns to driving across feilds, everything... brilliant car.
