"I know a mechanic that works on nothing but domestics who says..." <----- NO.
"My neighbour has a VW and it's in the shop..." <-----NO.
"I read in Stuff magazine that the editors ashtray cover broke." <----- NO.

"One of my past VW's gave me trouble with..." <----- YES!

If you are going to run your mouth about how bad a car company is, please PLEASE have firsthand experience. Otherwise, kindly STFU and move along. :)



Hmm talk about random outbursts... what's it to you if someone chooses to slag off a car in whatever way they want, it's called freedom of speech, something you can't and should'nt be able to pass judgement on! Jesus of all the silly threads i've read... are you realy an adult? :confused:

The van didn't have any electrical problem, but oxygen sensor keep failing on it and it was gut less....can't take the thing pass 48 miles/hour over a hill (on the same mountain pass the Saab, Corolla, Taurus & 300M can maintain at least 80 miles/hour).

The Sirocco was a piece of sh!t, because the fuel injection system & electrical is the worst of engineering on this planet.

I actually liked the Scirocco (16v of course). Pop in a turbo kit and it eat V8's for lunch :)

Bah! Suck it up, they're not the best cars on the market.

"The manufacturers performing worst in the survey were Volkswagen, Suzuki, Daewoo and Kia. Those names, along with Ford's Land Rover brand, were also the worst-ranked brands in the survey. Land Rover was second-worst with 441 problems per 100 vehicles. Kia had 509. "

JD Power's Ratings

Just another rating, there are many, and JD Power isn't the best, but interesting nonetheless.
