My parents leased two VWs for five years, a Beetle 1.8t and a Passat V6 4motion wagon. The Passat ended up being one of the most reliable cars ever to grace the household, as well as setting other benchmarks which 15 years later, other midsize cars struggle to meet. The Beetle was the least reliable car I have ever seen.
The Toyota Sienna my Ma got to replace the Beetle ended up being nearly as bad and was traded with only 19k miles on it. My Toyota Echo, on the other hand, had its first hard part (VVT solenoid/oil control valve/whatever you call it) replaced just yesterday. It has 249.600miles on it. Hard, HARD miles if the general condition of the car is any guide.
Can't count on a brand to be stupid reliable or to be unreliable, either.
As a German speaker, I'd like to take a moment and remind everyone that it's VolkswagEn, not VolkswagOn. [/jerk moment]
