All these dead and dying unreliable VW's lining up the sides of our roads is certainly not doing anything positive in terms of a third world image either.

Where do you get that assumption from? As in dead or dying VW's?

Must say I do see quite a few late model VW's lying around out front of houses with no plates, looking very ordinary, even out here.

![]() Like if you take your car to a workshop, it should be clean inside. I'm ruthless on our coffee run for the amigos with keepcups - you'll have it washed, dried and ready to go, or you're getting the disposable option and if you got a medium sized keepcup you'll be getting the appropriate sized beverage to fill it regardless of your wishes ![]() Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 02-04-2021 at 05:49 PM. |

It's true. Everyone in my family are obsessed with VW's apart from me. I keep it a little more reliable and like Jeep instead.
I'm the only one in my family who has never owned a VW. Based off their experiences I don't want to either. Quote:

My sister had a Tiguan, an unreliable bucket of bolts. Spent so much time on the back of tow trucks and at the dealers. One day the dealer to the local car rental yard for a loan car and the rep from the car rental yard said they had 32 cars out on rental to the VW dealer.

![]() You could do that with any brand. Sounds like someone has beef with VW to me. Just replace vw with another (I'm no vw fan BTW) .
