'78 Dodge Omni and '84 Mercury Lynx station wagon. Both expired under warrenty the first couple of times. Timing belt and interference engines in both. The Omni was traded in on the Lynx; I drove it around the back side of the dealer's lot so the salesman wouldn't notice that its automatic no longer shifted and sounded like a rock tumbler.
Lendaddy, a '71 Bug?? Crapmobile?? I hope you just had a bad one. Yes, the auto-stick sucks. I've been driving Bugs all my life and started my oldest son driving in my beloved '71 Super Beetle. I'll pass on my current Bug, a '70 standard, to my second son in a couple of years when he starts. After that, I'll be looking for another one for myself. I just love the littler fellers. I'm thinking early oval, or even maybe earlier split. They're fun, and what ultimately led me into the Porsche fold.
