The study results have been gathered from owners, problems are not just quality related but ergonomic problems experienced by owners also btw there is a sigma forum and the owners of sigmas are mostly naive and narrow minded hence why i hang out at ford forums with my ford powered sigma FACT is VW ARE having problems with quality and have been for a few years, even Anke Koeckler from VW admits it

Man where did you get that? We get a bunch of reports sent through to my work about reliability and VW is normally about 12th.
It normally goes Honda first, then Toyota or Suzuki, then a bunch of Japanese or Korean brands, and VW is normally the most reliable european brand. Maybe ergonomics skew these things? I've not seen one with ergnomic complaints on it before...

I'd go a v12 purely because I like the sound of it better.

The W16 ticks all the boxes required. Not just pure power but reliability. The Veyron isn't just a stripped out no frills 1000hp supercar its a supercar with stupid levels of power and more trim and gadgets than a space station.

The W configuration engines are just fantastic, extremely reliable and sound great. Fuel consumption on the other hand is absolutely diabolical.

Something like the Lexux LFA V10 with 2 turbos strapped to it would be ideal to me.

Can someone buy one and do an engine swap.
I want the Veyron engine for my Grans Festiva to see how fast that little buggar will go.

If you can afford a Veyron you can afford to buy your own oil refinery, fuel consumption doesn't matter.
