I really have to reign in. All my VW's as well as my Audis I drove where exellent and reliable cars. I had a couple cars I drove for more then 140K miles without a hickup. Are they cheap in terms of maintenance? - no. But they are produced in countries still paying a decent salary, healthcare, etc and not in low cost countries like Korea!
When I look at this forum then I must say - people are concerned about saving a couple dollars on an oil change, a broken mirror replacement, etc. I am willing to pay a fair price for a fair amount of work! If this is to much then don't buy a XFire - it is partially at least a Mercedes Benz with aged technology, but decent design. But stop the whining about the high cost of an oil filter or this and that! I don't get it. everybody else shall work for nothing but for myself nothing is enough.
