I thought they were doing AWD (4motion) on the new Golf?
Was that just a tease?
definitely a tease, never heard this, would love it though.

Americans asking if German cars are reliable ?
Good joke

By that logic, Turkish people shouldn't be able to ask about cars, period.
The two Passats were alternatively awesome and horrendous-both were plagued with frequent electronic gremlins that were expensive as heck to repair. One example - a faulty ABS sensor that has no effect on driveability but lit the dash panel up like a nuclear plant going through meltdown and cost $700 to fix (mostly parts cost). Another thing I hated about the more modern VWs is how horrendously unfriendly they are to owner-servicing. Simple things like changing the oil are a complicated, hour+ long project (unless you have a car lift). Even changing a headlight bulb is an exercise in frustration.

I have to echo this. My wife has driven one for 11 years. We had a carbon issue with the engine which cost us about $600. And the (pop out) cupholders in that older one were a joke and break constantly (we have found a way to replace them for very cheap - every 2 years or so - they dont use these anymore). Last year, we had an electric motor for one of the windows finally die. Glow plugs have been a little more frequent replacement than I would have liked. I won't lie about problems, but I still consider the car to be a very solid financial investment, and my wife loves it. She still regularly gets 42-45 mpg. My two young kids beat the hell out of it and it gets run in tons of stop and go traffic daily. It's been solid.
owned a 2008 GTI, 2010 Jetta TDI, and now a 2014 Passat TSI with 0 problems so far.
The 12 Golf is now my DD. My first TDI. Boy is it fun. Picked it up at a year old with high mileage (38k at purchase) and no problems so far. Love the torque it makes. And the mileage is excellent.
Hahahahhaaa... this has to be a joke account right?
Yea European cars tech is so great that's why Ferrari uses GMs magnetic shock system, BMW has used GM transmissions, etc...
Also why Mercedes had to recall their cars to remove the entire brake control system and convert it back to the same hydraulic one most car makers use.
Let me guess the kind of auto knowledge you have, my tire pressure should be set to sidewall right? :sneaky:
