What do you think about VW Cars

There kinda like Audi seconds

Umm. they have four wheels!!!!!

Nope do not like VW cars at all!!!

Germans knows best at making engines, I'll grant them that, however, I think the over all German cars are quite a bit over priced.

@OP: Your sig is border lining on advertisement/spam. Please change it.

my moms '01 golf gti 1.8T auto is a piece of junk. shes very pleased the purchased a warranty after the factory warranty went out.
numerous o2 sensors, drive train issues, the sun roof ate its self and the head liner, ecu problems, its been a mess. driven to/from work lightly with full synthetic mobile 1 EP 5w30 every 3-4k miles. its a heap, and my 1998 F150 with 140k on it has had no issues whatsoever.

her VW had approx. 87k on it. pathetic.

Got a 2005 Jetta TDI and it is one of the most fun and easy to drive cars I have owned. The low end torque of the TDI combines with the Tiptronic Transmission is a hoot for driving in and out of traffic, I especially get a lot of use out of the Tiptronic driving up and down the NJ turnpike.

Another thing about German cars is that they are designed and built to be comfortable for drivers over 6ft tall, like myself. When I was car shopping, I felt like I needed to be shoe-horned into a Civic and Corolla whereas the Jetta was easier to get in and out of as well as a more comfortable driving position. WIth the Civic and Corolla my knees were hitting the dash even with the seat all the way back and somewhat reclined.

VW is also one of the few car makers that offers heated cloth seats, most other makers make you upgrade to leather seats if you want them heated.

One thing I did learn about VW was to purchase one that was assembled in Germany as opposed to the VW plant in Mexico; much tighter fit and not as many rattles and less body noise.

My one criticism of VW is the cost of ownership is higher than other cars, especially the TDI, an example being it recently cost me $730 for the dealer to replace the fuel pump. Non-routine maintenance parts need to be special ordered from Stuttgart. But I can live with a higher cost of ownership because my Jetta TDI gets 42mpg and has a 500mile range.

Would I purchase another VW? Yes, I would. However, my next vehicle will most likely be an Audi A3 TDI.

I purchased an MkV (2009) GTI about a year ago and I love it to death. Got it at the height of the recession and so I got a great deal on it.

Mk5+ are now produced/assembled in Germany, whereas Mk4s were manufactored in Brazil (I think). Quality as far as I know is much, much better in the newer Mk5/Mk6 GTIs/Golfs. The new dual-clutch DSG transmission is a blast to drive with, and the interior build quality is better than any other car I looked at in the same price range.

I could have purchased an Audi, but the price vs feature differentiation just wasn't worth it to me.

In the 70's-80's my best friend and his father had Beetles. Their mechanic said those were great; the newer ones (e.g. Rabbits) were only meant to last around 7 years max.

They've advertised "It's not a car, it's a Volkswagen," to which I say "Right, it's not a car, so get it tf off the road."

Started with an '78 Rabbit (used). Was awesome while I was in college. Next was a '91 Vanagon GL (new) that had significant issues that required invoking a "lemon law" to see back to the company. Very unfortunate as we loved the vehicle. Next (and current) came an '04 Jetta TDI. 50 MPG and fun to drive. Had an '07 Beetle, but the wife needed something different due to health reasons. All in all, love the vee-dubs. Great, dependable, affordable, and fun.

Golf GTI Cabirolet Mk1 1.8L Turbo 75bhp is a beautiful car, i would pimp the hell out of it if i could actually find one .

NOOOOOOO!! VW NOOOO!!!

Overall, I like VW.
The steering racks remove easy.
The tranny can be removed in a half hour if you remove the crossmember.
The vw micro bus has a ground problem, fixable by cleaning the centrel groundpost in the rear below the motor.
Most VW cars need the cv boots replaced pretty often. (when you hear it clicking in turns, its already to late, you need a new output shaft...)
Brakes work well.
the old rabbits got outstanding mileage, diesel fuel option was the way to go.
VW enginearing is well thought out, componants are put in easy to reach places (I mean compared to a jag. or a deville),you can unbolt and move things instead of getting cut up,because you had to force your hand between things that could not be moved.
I think VWs look pretty much like other cars...

Not bad but I preffer Honda's cars though. Tougher engines.

I'll never own a VW. It simply makes no sense. First off, Hondas are better. I don't even like hondas that much, but their cars are simply more reliable. Second, if you want a German car, don't waste your money. Get a damn BMW, the greatest car manufacturer.

I have an '83 mk1 golf gti. halfway through a 2.0 16v conversion. i just love mk1 golf gti's. only with proper roofs though! floppy tops do not count! had a vr6 corrado once and that was nice.

i drive a golf V gtd 2.0tdi 170hp, with a 350nm of torque, has greatly accelerated, low consuption and very fun to driver
