Does anyone else have the urge to design/own a car that's made to be repaired, and rarely needs it?
How about something that's in alignment with Rudolf Diesel and Henry Ford's idea of a vehicle a farmer could fuel?

Mk4 TDI is the closest you’ll find. They last forever, get 40+ mpg, can run on vegetable oil and bio diesel and are almost all analogue. Easily fixable yourself. Pleasure to drive even.
They’re the best 2wd vehicles ever made and it’s not even close.
My overall goal is to own a mid 2000's Toyota Corolla/Camry again. I used to have one but I regrettably sold it. At the very least Toyota rarely have major engine issues, at least according to the few shops I spoke to when researching my car.
Do it. Imma keep gassing you up on this until I'm gassing up the car. Lifelong dream.
