I'm just wondering how many miles these VW's will end up with on the odometer 
before dying

'75 Volvo- 300k
'82 Volvo (Diesel- reliability worse)- 427k, engine overhauled at 270k
'92 Toyota Corolla Wagon- about to die prolly (driver's side door not opening, 
makes an awful noise)- 299k
'84 Volvo - still running quite nicely- 270k

Our '93 Corolla sedan (173k) moves sportily enough for me, and the 40 MPG 
regular is an added plus :-)
