Re: Cars
I used to have my Dad's original 2005 Scion xB (yep, the 'Box' as we called it. He put 83k on it between 05 and 08 I think, where I bought it and subsequently put another 42k on it between 08 and this spring. Did have 1 breakdown at about 105k I think on I81 in a winter storm, ended up being a blown water pump and I think a belt. Other than that, a couple sets of tires and a wheel bearing or 2. Its now in retirement driving with my mom keeping it as a winter driver and whatnot, since it was surprisingly very good in the snow.
Now have a 2011 VW Tiguan (small SUV). VW covers all maitenance for 3yr/36k at VW dealerships I believe (kinda inconvenient, but 1 problem and it makes up for it.). It's getting the 90 day courtesy check done now, not a problem with it so far.
My family also owns 3 other Scions 08 xB, 09 tC and 09 xD, none have had any problems other than scheduled maitenance as far as I know.
