I had very few probs w/ my VWs, All I hear are complaints on thier reliability, I however have had no issues....outside a coil pack recall, and a MAF sensor dying. Considering this is 2 cars for total of 5 yrs, I am happy. My integra and Civic Si were the two WORST cars I ever owned based on reliability. 3 warranty trannys, 2 warranty clutches, and a warranty engine rebuild...What Honda reliability?!
