Point is, he hasn't until now. I believe he's had the dealer maintain it mostly, but had to recently take it to a transmission place to get the tip looked at. Just like any car, if you take care of a VW, it will take care of you. I think a lot of the negativity VW's get is from the enthusiast community that installs chips, exhaust, intake, etc. There's a running joke about how the CEL stays on all the time with modded VW's. Of course, the more you mod a car, the less reliable it will be. Keep it bone stock and you'll have a happy car.

I will concede that German parts are not cheap.
