VW has long standing quality issues with their recent cars.... hype? maybe... but where there's smoke there's fire. Some have great luck, others have total lemons. Maybe it depends on the dealer... who knows.

Quote:The other doubt I have is about VW's quality record. In J.D. Power's 2006 Initial Quality survey, the '06 Golf had 157 problems per 100 vehicles sold, vs. 138 for the Scion tC, 105 for the Civic, and a mere 96 for the Corolla.
