However, some of the cars that made the list were unexpected.

My 12 year old Verada (Magna with ugly faux wood bits) just keeps on being trouble free and I treat it like total crap. It is the most reliable thing I have ever owned, happily powers up any hills and doesn't use much fuel. Its quiet and fits all the kids in, and has a giant boot that fits my 10"SCT and all the fixins. I bought it 2nd hand in 2004, and it has been a real trooper.

It isn't an enviable car, but it does the job and has never failed me.

Never would have picked that the Golf outsold the Beetle.

Or that my old Datsun Sunny made the list! Go the Datto!
