My car also has 480000km on it and 20 years old, seats still perfect. Maybe Seat just makes good seats :P

Well, it's right there in the name!

Mine was a 2001 Fiat Multipla, powered with natural gas. One of the most reviled cars ever made, and produced when Fiat was at its worst. It was awesome.

As a lover of weird and ugly cars, I love the Multipla. If I needed a larger car like that, I'd totally get one. Though my need for weirdness is currently satisfied with ny Trabant

The cactus is on my wishlist but un/fortunately I don't really need a car anymore as a moped suffices
