I have been driving VW for decades. Never had any issue apart from some Apple CarPlay snags. Drove Golf, Touran and Tuiguan Allspace. Always a pleasure.
The headliner has come undone in every VW ive had and the DSG is great when great, and has… character otherwise.
The aftermarket support is awesome and you’ll always find some nerd that knows all the quirks and how to fix them though. I work on my cars and while sometimes the engineering decisions are over complicated and you need all the specialized tools, some are clever and I appreciate them.
Looking at getting a Golf R once our Prius gives me an excuse (just got rear ended and the thing doesn’t even chirp, squeak or complain, so I might be waiting for a while).
Our passat has been so much better than our previous Kia and Renault, at least. 10 years without any non-normal breakage, a water pump did break and for some reason that is considered normal. If thats all that breaks during this time I am happy enough.
Japanese is maybe even better, but I just cant get over the styling.
