My 1983 and 2003 VW GTi's were a blast to drive but both developed annoying rattles and squeaks early on. My BMW's were fun too but so many recalls for stupid things like water getting into the tail lights, high pressure fuel pump failures, and guaranteed plastic water pump failure around 50K miles. Same for the Oil Filter housing that leaks oil around 50K miles. The key with these German cars (IMHO) is to sell them before the Warranty or Certified Pre-Owned Warranty expires. Our Toyotas and Hondas have been much more reliable over the years but I have to admit they're pretty boring to drive. I bought a 2024 Subaru with that boxer engine and CVT. It's my first ever Subaru. Fingers crossed.
