If only everything was as reliable as a VW... Hmmm...
In 45 years driving I have only ever had 3 cars (all 2-5yrs old at the time) that broke down and left me by the roadside :
1981 VW Polo that let me down twice - first with a blocked jet in the carb, second with a failed oil pump
1988 VW Polo that let me down once - failed fuel pump
2000 Renault Megane - pulley sheared off the alternator
Those are the only 2 VW's I ever had! From memory I've had Morris, Hillman, 4 Fords, Chrysler, Citroen, 2 VWs, Fiat, Renault, 2 Nissans, Toyota, 3 Skodas plus various Honda and Kawasaki motorcycles. Most or all had minor niggles but none except the 2 VWs and the Renault left me by the roadside.
So, if everything was as reliable as my VW's I would have been left by the roadside not 4 times but around 30 times.
