I've been around enough VW's to know they're flaming pieces of crap....you couldn't pay me to own one. Frequent trips to the dealer for off the wall electrical gremlins...no thanks.

It seems like they're hit or miss....mainly miss with the people I know. I worked with 4 of these fanboi's....every one seemed like your friend...VW rocks...everything else is crap....every single one tried gunning for the 'vette with their "crazy modded" Vdubs. It's a shame none of the 4 stayed together long enough to prove how much power those mods gave them. EVERY one had issues. Now granted, they could've been hack job mods but still. Even my friend's stock '03 Jetta was been in the dealer 4 separate times for electrical issues, 50K miles and 4 trips for warranty work...no thanks. My lawyer's Passat has 175K trouble free(for the most part) miles on it. The workers must have been paying attention the day that one was built, lol.

I guess since it's German it must be a great car or something...I'm still failing to see what's so great about them. I love the new Audi's but I'd be scared to own one unless I had a warranty that covered everything.
