LOL! Not a chance! After just testing the Audi, Volvo, Merc and Skoda and having hired a Toyota recently, VW is easily as good as other Euros. They’re just not ridiculously overpriced because of a badge. Take the XC60 as an example... Same specs and with some EXTRA features on the VW, the VW literally misses heads up display and vented/cooling front seats. It has EVERYTHING else the $80,000+ XC60 has. VW ACC and Lane Assist are easily as good. And all for $30,000 less. Price and badge do not mean it’s not in the same class. It absolutely is. The so called “premium” name plates of Europe were a let down because when I was quoted, I expected soooooo much more. VW is bang on in terms of value for money.
