My Volkswagen Golf 1.6 S is a 1999 model which I've had for eight years, since it was two. It's been very reliable until last Christmas when the water pump broke, but hey, it took 100,000 miles to break it.

Other unexpected problems have included:
* Brake pipe leak,
* Electric window jammed.
* Lambda sensor failed (but again, at 100,000 miles).
* Fault with radio - it sometimes (not always) keeps cutting out every few minutes. Just enough to be occasionally annoying, but not bad enough to bother buying a new one...

Overall though, I've been very happy with the car. Still on the original clutch, and I don't think I've ever had the exhaust box changed. Still looks great, paintwork in good nick with not a spot of rust (and I only wash it about twice a year), and the interior doesn't look like it's seen the miles it has.
