My bought new, made-in-America, 1985 Golf went 250k with no engine problems and I was not real good about my oil changes and only used conventional oil.  Never even heard of Synta.  It was  a great car.  We gave away our 1966 Corvair when we bought.  We always missed our Corvair - I don't miss the Golf.  It was  a great car but did not evoke an emotional response like the Corvair.  (it died in a flood from hurricane Isabel).  Actually it still ran after being flooded by almost 3 feet of salt water.  My other car didn't.  But it was rusting away before my eyes.  So sad...

I agree that it's anecdotal evidence, but a) I know of a lot of Golfs in 
similar condition and with similar miles, and b) I have seen the lack of 
wear with my own eyes, and I wouldn't have believed it possible. Likewise 
the lack of parts that have had to be replaced.

And as I said, while it maybe doesn't prove that Golfs are wonderful or that 
Synta is wonderful, it certainly proves that Synta isn't *not* wonderful!
