I wouldn't go with beat to fuck, I would just not maintained. When it cost $1500-2000 to get your car inspected every two years, most won't consider maintenance as necessary, as the place inspecting does the maintenence and makes the owner pay. I think it has more to do with lack of driving time (water in oil, etc), wanting to keep up with the Suzukis, and not having a simple way, or knowledge to do it yourself, and the government architecture built around those tenants that keeps the cars from being in good condition. My second car here was junked at 220K KM because of the transmission. My father in law is selling his 2005 Mazda Demio Casual because it has 89K KMs on it.
