VW's have the highest cost of ownership, cv joints, suspension, wheel bearings, they all wear out quickly on the VW's, CV joints require special VW only tools and like you said, electrical problems starting back in the mid 80's and continuing onward
I've owned a number of VW's including two diesels and will never own one again, same with friends of mine who own them, they are nice to drive, they handle well and the TDI is nice but it ends at that unless you like spending your weekends fixing you car.
The draw back of the fire fly is that it is a cheap car so they can be a little rough but they are also simple, well designed and easy to fix, the worst thing that can happen to the metro/fire fly is the front suspension mounting points rust out, other then that it's pretty cheap to buy whole used engines and transmissions if things really go wrong.
