Quantum was Passat in Europe, no?

My cars and miles when sold:

'88 Audi 90 - 400,000 miles (425K miles when totaled by next owner)
'85 Vanagon Westfalia - 189,000 miles (original heads never leaked)
'87 Jetta GLI - 225,000 miles

My current '01 New Beetle TDI just turned over 156,000, which is a little more than halfway of my 300,000 goal.

Quantum was the US-market name for the Santana (which was also made
by Nissan in Japan as Santana), available as a 1.6 turbodiesel or a
2.0 gas five. Of course it's basically an Audi 90, which is basically
an Audi 80. The 1st-gen Passat was of course a rebadged Audi 80/Fox.

Our lowest-cost car? 1986 Corolla DX 1.8 diesel sedan. Mainenance
items only; however may km were wiped off the odo when it was imprted
(SOP), it had over 660,000km when we sold it, and they were all hard
km... it having been a taxi before we bought it and for years after.
