I have my GTI for 9+ years, not because I love my car and want to drive it to the ground. It is because I don't make $200K job to afford new car every 4-5 years
Luckily, your GTI came with rust proofing from the factory 
Look underneath!
No need to spray VW's at all.

Fuck all you assholes with this 200k shit, I didn't take the contract gig, so I'm at my old place with a nice raise.
Newer BMWs come with factory undercoating and a zinc coating, thats how they can offer an 11 year rust perforation warranty. If you can drive one, you can certainly afford to replace it within 11 years. If you were driving some jap crap, then yeah, I sold my 97 subaru with just because it started rusting, it ran perfectly fine. Sold our 2005 before any rust started, because we know 7 years with Japanese cars is the limit. My 2002 M3 had no rust in 2010 when I sold it. 
As for E36s being more rewarding to drive, my neighbour has an 2002. You want road feel you got it. Hell, even an E30 M3 is more rewarding to drive, that doesn't mean I want to own one to DD. The E46 was the best balance of modern without all this computer isolation. E36 is just plain old now Oh, and E90 looks dated as shit now that the F30 is out They just didn't age well. 
Wes, WTF is up with that rust, you drive that shit through salt water or something?

^^ I'm talking about the 2013 F10 screen. Freaking beautiful.

As for placement on the E series, the double hump looks like an afterthought, and really screws up the dash.

I didn't look under the car. But my passenger side door is rusted from the inside on the A-pillar, rust on the driver side fender, hatch. It's a 11 years old car, so I expected. Compare to 2006 Mazda 3 and older Protege's rust problem, I am very happy.

My thoughts exactly. IMO, that is the only 3 series that hasn't aged well.

X5 will look dated as fuck when the new model is out. None of these cars are aging well, the shapes were just too wierd, nothing gracefull. And yes, the E9X is as common as the Corolla.
Where are you getting the idea that the tail lights look the same? The new 3 tail lights make the car look like a mini 5 series.


The L shaped tail lights are a BMW trademark, so they haven't gone to another shape, but the E90 tails aren't even close to the F30 tails.

The F30 rear looks like an e92 rear.
Either way, the F30 is goregous, and yes it's a mini 5 series. Still don't see how the e90 looks aged.
