 Yeah… gas engines just dont have the longevity.  
Those old pump deuce diesels go forever.  
Engine and transmission are fine but All the plastic stuff is falling apart and electrical gremlins are becoming too prevalent to reliably drive it anymore. 
Consistent 40mpg all those years.  I got my moneys worth.

 Diesels are legit. Never owned one though.  My Honda is still going strong, no issues so far. Just regular maintenance. Hoping to put 250k-300k on this beast. The plastic has held up surprisingly well for a 15 year old car.

 Had a new GTI as a rental a few weeks ago. I haven’t had that much fun driving in a long time.
