I work for the VW group and I can confirm the many issues they have, I think it's down to the fact that they're not trying to fill niches but to supply their cars in big numbers to consumers who are loyal to the brand. Vw owners are sort of like iPhone owners, they rarely switch to anything else, so they are willing to deal with everything thats thrown at them. VW doesn't make bad cars, but they can't seem to get the best out the products they offer, because they're such a huge industry themselves, which makes it hard to go into detail in the development phase

[@Bartonovich52]

Well.. consider that VAG is fighting with Toyota and GM to be the dominant player in the world auto industry... they’d better figure it out. You don’t increase market share by catering to loyalists. Bargain basement financing only goes so far as well.. and all of the Jettas and Passats I see in the rental lots don’t bode well for good resale values down the road.

I have had 5 VW's and had great luck with them. I love mine and so far only had one check engine light. Fixed with a new gas cap.

[@joshhankins5151]

I've owned 6 vag vehicles. Every single one has had issues, and some of those cars were just money pits with seemingly endless issues. But I always come back. Why? They're incredible when they're sorted, and there's something about not driving boring cars.. I'll stick to the I5s of the 90s and half the electrical systems/components of modern day iterations 🤘

[@nicholasbaker2904]

Just bought a 2017 jetta saturday. Wanted a vw my whole life and finally got one. Hope for a good experience. It's super clean and well maintained.

[@leviboswell9510]

Bought a 2015 4 months w 80k. Been great

[@noelaguirre7104]

Follow basic maintenance protocol and you'll be fine. Welcome to the family.

[@figmo7494]

Stockpile cash for repairs. That is all.

[@kennethscofield4565]

I had three bugs back in the day...I miss them .....and want another one.

[@IIDraithII]

I absolutely love my 2001 Jetta TDI, nothing better than diesel for long road trips and I haven't had TONS of problems with it- it's all about preventive maintenance; which sadly is lost on a lot of people.

[@shaka_7759]

South Africas VW community is Big,very big. It is the number 1 most hijacked car here,and at the same time,the number 1 best selling car

[@fmoore003]

I wouldn’t have one, I have 4 2 Bugs and 2 MK4 TDI

[@jessezuniga6825]

[@williamlehmaniv7460]

You are brave loving the seemingly least loved generation. I salute you!

[@thepersonwhocanbeatyou2249]

It gets to a point where it’s not a check engine light its more like an authenticity light

[@thsmit2367]

Just bought an Eos 2007 with the 3.2. It has 68k miles. Wish me luck.

[@LeanBackMac]

Me: wait your Audi Leaves Oil on the Ground? Friend: Duh, that's how I know there is Oil in it...

[@Dabchu]

Who else cringed when he said “crans”😩

[@daytonstokes6900]

[@BrendenPragasam]

Brought me flashbacks to my friends og jetta

[@tylermalm8943]

Volkswagen is the best IMO. Quick, comfortable, convenient, and they look great I’ve owned 2 vdubs btw

[@sithlord3087]

I don't know but there's something about volkswagens.... i just keep buying them .

[@ΒΞΔΝ]

Mostly the owners I think. I bought my 20th brand new, and still own her to this day. No major issues what so ever, but I also baby her, maintain, and only have 120k miles after 18 years.

[@elijahlymus1370]

Anyone else race their early 2000’s vw everyday just waiting for it to have problems?

[@tnavswwe52]

1. Has 20 year old car 2. Complain about reliability Pick one

[@michaeldavila8627]

My 01 Corolla has been nothing but reliable.

[@Bartonovich52]

I’ve had a 16 year old F-150. A 19 year old Pontiac Montana. A 20 year old Volvo 745. A 24 year old Volvo 744. A 32 year old Volvo 244. And a 34 year old Ford Econoline motorhome. And all of them were more reliable than my 10 year old VW GTI.

[@tnavswwe52]

@@Bartonovich52 volvo is a premium brand, they are built like tanks, you can't compare. It also depends on how you maintain it, so for you 5 example there are a lot of other car the same age that are mechanically dead.

I dont call it hate..I call it envy..

[@ch33ch4]

Me sitting in my mk7 w the check engine light just starring at me 😂

[@TheDamnedScribe]

Check engine lights, oil leaks, wheel troubles? Not on my Dub.

[@DaveH81]

lmfao when you said about skipping oil changes because constant top-ups mean your always running fresh oil, thats where im at with my gti

[@davidtosh7200]

Volkswagen, 1949-2019. No wonder this German car stop importing vehicles to the United States for the past few years. (Old Beetle) 1949-1979. Karmann Ghia: 1956-1974. Type 2: 1955-1980 Type 3: 1966-1973 Type 4: 1971-1974 Scirocco: 1975-1988. Rabbit: 1976-1985 Dasher: 1974-1979 New Beetle: 1998-2018 Golf: 1990s-2018 Jetta: 1990s- 2019 Passat: 1990s-2019, & Tourage (SUV): early 2000s-2019. Bad news for VW in the USA. 😢.

[@robertpurvis7921]

My 2008 Passat wagon with the 2.0t has actually been the best car I’ve ever owned.

[@ccul8trvwbuild835]

Lmmfao 🤣

[@aiden900]

Love my VW's and always will!!!

[@tylor_vwricer]

no lights on my dash and no crayon smell guess im lucky

[@joedemmons9156]

I owned 2 MKIV Jettas and they both smelled like crayons. One had leather interior, the other had fabric, who knows why they both smelled the same, but they did! I'd always heard it was because of the upholstery adhesive used, but can't be sure.

[@990Inferno]

I loved my 01 Jetta VR6 (had electrical issues but the car was so much fun) and my 07 Rabbit (only issue was the headliner). I currently have a newer Accord and I can’t wait to get back into a VW.

[@Pinkydebarbie]

2010 MKVI GTI... best car I have ever owned. A little TLC, 200k and still going strong.
