One would imagine that VW must be looking forward Apple's design in put on the potential iCar. They must like the fact that Jonathan Ive has been influenced by the late German Industrial Designer, Dieter Rams. en.wikipedia.org |

| 586158 | 2007-08-30 07:50:00 | On a par with other models of cars I would imagine. No I would say they are a lot worse than most brands. From personal experience,a VW polo had 3 clutches fail in 2 years, and it then failed again after the warrenty period. This was a known problem with that particular model. The Dog and Lemon guide also gives VW a bad ranking in terms of reliability. The new Passat is also supposed to have all sorts of problems. They are the same company that make Skoda... enough said. For relibililty you can't beat Japanese cars. Toyota/Lexus, Subaru and Honda are all good cars for relibility. |

Check the D & L for proof on Skodas unreliabilty. Peugeot also compete on the WRC, and they have shocking reliability. We had a 406, and we sold it after all the expensive electrical repairs that it needed doing to it, and it was only 5 years old. There was no reason why it should have needed tthe repairs, just badly made. My advice is to avoid all european cars, and go japanese, if you plan on keeping your car for more than 3-5 years. Until you have a lemon or a car, you can't imagine how bad it can be. People assume that all cars these days are pretty relibable, but that is so wrong to assume that. I think the Dog and Lemon guide should be compulsory reading material for anyone buying a car. |
