2003 VW Passat Wagon: 128,000 miles. Automatic 2008 Saturn Astra XE: 119,000 miles. Automatic. Assuming both are in similar condition, which would be the more reliable/better ride? 2001 Cadillac Deville has gained more repair needs than willing to pay for/deal with, so in need of new vehicle. Both are similar and in same price range. Thanks. ---

I’d pass on both. No other options? ---

With those 2 as your top picks, I have a question. Do you really hate yourself that much?
