said he won't buy a Honda. Yah Toyotas are reliable, but they seem to cheap and tinny... VWs are solid, their panel gaps are perfect, their interiors are out of a luxury car... come on. Its a car you WANT to drive. VW's problems are supplier related. This is even a bigger problem with American cars, the parts are cheap... German car manfs have to skip on stuff or else their prices will probably go up way more. I would saw Audi/MB/BMW break down more because of the absurd level of technology that isn't really tried and true in them. At least they aren't afraid of the bad rep to try it out. AdamN <

wrote in message As a lover of German cars and a driver of a 2001 GTI I can honestly say that I totally agree with the JD Powers results mostly. Toyota truly is the cr?me da la cr?me of quality even if some of their models are a bit boring. The others like Honda as well. VW's have really have major quality issues but I bought my VW because I like the personality and slightly more distinct looks over the cookie cutter looks of many of the Japanese models. The VW's fit and finish are also top notch at least initially. But ask me what to buy if ya want good reliable well assembled not in the shop all the time transportation and I'll say Toyota or Honda hands down. Steer clear of the VW unless you are willing to deal with all the issues it will have. Who knows, you could get a good one though the odds are alot higher you won't. Guess I live dangerously.
