I work in an independent european shop where 95% of the cars that come in are VW and Audi. I will have you know sir that you are 100% correct. When I move down there I am putting applications in at every dealership but those two. We are lucky enough to have one of best VW troubleshooting men in the northeast as a friend of the shop and he recently told me that the cars are now going to shit befor they are even sold. I would never drive any VW made after 1991. New VWs are junk and people only buy them for the name...and those people are morons.
