VWs used to be a bit better in terms of quality in this side of the pond...parents had a pair of VWs leased new in 2000 and they bore out the reputation of the day, hit or miss. Dad's Passat was utterly and entirely bulletproof for the 5 years and 60k miles we had it, loaded up as it was in V6 4motion wagon form. My Mom's Beetle 1.8t on the other hand...let's just say they're glad that our dealer had a service department which went way above and beyond.

VW now is really just a toy for those with a bit of money. Your repair bills will be constant and high.
