VW Quality ? Anyone had Problems ?

[JustCruisn]

Yep most people expect 100% more when paying 20% more for something. As far as quality goes I'm happy with my VW. I had a Lancer and it had heaps of problems, water pump, brake lines, engine mounts, heater core cracked, plastic clips broke etc etc. It had to be serviced every few months as well.
The VW goes a whole year before it needs a check up. The total servicing bill is less for the VW over a year as well. The water pump did die but it was 13months since the previous service. Thats the only problem I've had. Id buy another one no worries.

I agree. I had a '97 Toymota Corolla from new and before it hit 80,000 it was beginning to incur major defects (wiring, suspension, etc) and it had been treated with great respect from day one. Unlike other Polo GTI drivers, I've had no complaints about mine (in nearly 18 months and 16,000 ks ... long may it last ).

The Holden Adventurer 4wd wagon that is here at the moment had a recall last week. By the looks of it, it has new front brake hoses. Thats an 04 model with 39,000 kms on it. Wouldn't have been a cheap car either.
