All right mate,

you've got a point here. I admit seeing more Toyota's and Honda's in Europe than a couple of years ago and they are selling increasingly more down there. But they've got a very low resale value compared to European cars and the moment you touch the bloody door handle you realise it's not even getting close in quality to a VW, BMW etc.

However, China and Korea hardly sell any cars over there - i.e.: I have only seen 1Kia in Germany in my entire life.

As for the Polo thread, I can see your anger and disappointment and I agree with you that VW built quality is nowadays less good compared to many years ago and they really have to sort things out. One major reason why I wanted to hold on to my 21 year old Golf MK2. But again many of your VW's come from SA and there seem to be quality differences as well (see MK2 Golf thread). I just drove the new Golf last summer in Germany and it felt very solid.

My current 1998 Polo in NSW is made in Germany still and I am quite happy, will keep it as long as possible.

I guess you haven't seen Kia Cee'd's, factory is doing very well http://www.chinacarforums.com/forum/...ead.php?t=2225 :O

Sorry to say your Polo is Spanish built , to my knowledge VW haven't built a Polo in Germany since the versions prior to Type 6N (your model)

[nick1234]

Frankly Ben, I refuse to acknowledge that factory's very existence!

It strikes me further that you might be in fact on the wrong forum ! The “I can’t get enough of Kia & Co.” forum is elsewhere, I believe – hehehehe

Btw. as far as I know, the Polo itself was made in Germany (even the language on the motorblock is German and states - Made in Germany) - however, headlights and bumpers were made in Spain. I am absolutely positive about this ! ;O)

What cars do you have mate ? - interested !

[syncro]

Most VW engines are made in Germany (Kassel).
Not many VWs but.
