Default Re: the most reliable car you have ever owned

'03 VY SV8 ... With a caveat. 210,000 km and it's had a tie rod, both strut bushes and an oil pressure sensor replaced by me outside warranty. Inside warranty the original engine was replaced at 80,000km for "excessive gudgeon pin noise" .. Which was noisy for about 30 sec as it warmed up, but never caused any issues, never used any oil and ran hard. It never left me stranded and the engine changeover only took two days so it was no great inconvenience. The "new" engine has been fine .. No issues. I'll keep this car until it reall becomes economically unfeasable.
