I value the comparison you have made between the Prius and VW; thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately, in the U.S., VW is terrible. They aren't reliable (although I've heard the Golf is a little better), and service costs are twice as high. The Prius here is much cheaper, but VW carries a premium price. Old used Golf's with a million miles still go for thousands of dollars.
My friend recently purchased a Mk4 Golf, and so far has had a bad wheel bearing, bad alternator, and now an exhaust leak in the flex pipe. Way too many issues for a car with under 200k miles on it.
I'm guessing VW quality is better in Europe, and servicing them is more reasonable.
