what is your planned personal time frame for ownership of your car?

just to toss this question out there for fun.


how long do you guys plan to keep your car?

my plan is to keep it at least for 20 years. I bought mine new, so it's a 2015 s3.
I'm approaching 10 years of ownership.
it looks great still. no damages. only upkeep and other maintenance are my concerns for now.
some minor modifications to have it be a fun daily.
I'm curious how long the transmission will last.
also not sure about the clutch.
