When my 135i hits the 10 year ownership mark, out the door it goes. It'll be in great shape, because I don't flog it and carefully service it. I'll be going back to Mazda for sure!

The Jetta has not used a rear beam axle since the sixth generation, more specifically the absolute cheapest, base-model variant with the old 8-valve 2.0 engine. They did this to undercut pricing of the Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, and other econoboxes back in 2011.
