03 Jetta 1.8T. 358k km. Original clutch failed at 305k, I've had it since 66k, my dad had it since 37k(?).

Never left me stranded except when the clutch failed. Everyone is surprised the engine is still strong, transmission has no grinds, still smooth.

I'm hoping to make it to 450k. I don't want car payments anytime soon.

My mechanic says new Golfs and Jettas are PITA when it comes to maintenance.
