Forgot to add, the mk3 is what started their electrical issues but they were still relatively simple and utilitarian, so they had less shit to go wrong.
I thought that older VWs, especially Golfs are quite reliable. After buying one its literally falling apart...

Most reliability memes come from the owners, not the cars.
Certain cars attract the types of owners and maintenance levels.
Corollas really aren't that much more reliable than most other small cars, but they attract the kind of buyers who drive diligently maintain them and don't drive them like assholes.

See, I wasnt talking about engines. Mine runs good, but other stuff is what breaks or malfunctions that often. Doubt that driving at full throttle and other stuff can cause problems like improperly working turn signals etc

Its true thats its how you take care of them but I see a LOT of toyotas from copart going to the middle east and africa.
They genuinely do have reliable drive trains.
Guess it must be nice buying the american cars that arnt built to be completely bare bones. have A/C, airbags, side airbags, more comfort stuff, etc....

Because in a french or italian car this would happen from the moment it left the factory

How do you know tho, have you owned french or italian car?

Your story seems to be exactly what I experienced with my Fiat Grande Punto.
1.9JTD engine was brilliant and never gave me any bother, but literally everything around it was falling apart.
That was my first car and I sold after 7 months. Bought a brand new car and promised myself to never buy used shit again.

Those actually had finicky mechanical fuel injection systems too when they were new.

I cant afford new car, nor I want new car.

>Engine is running good
That's the most expensive part, so far so good
>but other things are shitting themselves all the time.
>user realizes a 20 years old car has parts failing on it
HOLY FUCK, stop the presses!
