Yeah, like my 1985 VW GTI. I drove it for 8 years and 130K+ miles and got 40mpg when I sold it. Sold it to a friend who drove it for 2 more years and put about 40K more on it. But that was then. My cousin, who worked at Ford tried to give me a hard time about it since it was foreign - but shut up when I told him it was built in Pennsivainia and the 95 Escort GT was built in Mexico.
I still like the VWs, but I am an old family man now and a Honda is probably the route I'd go for a new car.
My cars past and present..
1993 Nissan Quest - Made by Ford in the US
1995 Honda Civic - Made in US by Honda
1993 Dodge Dakota - US
1986 American Motors Corp. Eagle - Canada
1985 VW GTI - US
1977 Triump Spitfire - UK
1967 Ford Mustang - Do I have to say it?
