Back in 2006 or so, when looking for a new car I happened to test drive a Jetta. I believe it was a 2000. Sales lady drove it over from their Dodge dealer next door. As she handed me the keys she said "You're probably not going to like this."
She was right. It was a dog, barely able to get out of its own way. None of the power windows worked either.
We finally got back to the dealership. I stepped out of the car and waited. And waited. I looked down to see what she was still doing in the car, and she held up the door handle that had broken off in her hand.
I've driven other Volkswagens, and liked them. That experience along with stories from friends and owners whos cars I serviced (worked in a tire/oil change shop for some time) scare me away.
I think if VW's weren't so ridiculously expensive their problems would be more acceptable.
