GO? Anthony VW's build quality was in the s***enhausen long before now, why do you think they're sheeding 20K worth of jobs? :lol:

^^I know!

I have a few friends that bought VW's thinking they were these perfectly built little cars (heard nothing but WONDERFUL things about them) Only to have more recalls than our beloved Focus.

I love it!
:lol:

Engineered by Germans, built by Mexicans.

It's no wonder, drivers are wanted... ;)

Funny thing is though, my dad's neighbour has only ever bought VW's and as far as I've ever heard from him, no problems (He only buys diesels, first Rabbits, now Golfs) must get the ones built by the supervisors I guess :P

Yup ... VW = perennial losers in the annual J.D. Power surveys - always below average and often near the bottom of the pack. And my own experience with my new 1990 Corrado made it the last VW I think I'll ever own.
