Yep, that is because a lot VWs sold in the USA are built in Mexico or South America ........

I can guarantee you a Korean takes more pride in his work than a Mexican .....

BMW & M-Benz has the same problem with a number now built in the USA itself ..... and we all know how well they build cars ....

BRB off to go trade in my mk1's for a new Kia.

Also, most Americans would not recognise a quality car if it ran them over .....

so, if their automotive appliance does not have soft and wallowy suspension (ie comfortable and incapable of taking a corner) and everypossible thing that opens and shuts (with a remote control) it has to be less good .... right ?

I have very little faith in what Americans consider to be quality .....

just think, the money you might save thru Korean reliability can be put towards paying for your lobotomy

This isn't a bad thing really, why wouldn't you want a cheap car with a killer warranty period thats actually reliable that you can buy new a 1/3rd of the price of a new golf?

I can't see anything wrong with that! And they're even making the cars to look halfway decent now!
