Asking most VW owners if they would buy again is even sillier than asking a Toyota or Honda owner. They are a very loyal group, sometimes with, sometimes without reason. I have VW friends who love their cars, and even swear by how reliable they are, even while trim pieces are falling off, and things are breaking. I had a friend tell me how great his was and how it always worked so well. except for this, this this and this........
I have never figured out how VW can make cars feel like they are carved from a block of granite, but the pieces attached are so fragile. Hondas seem to be more delicate, but seem to hold up better. Just my observations over the last 30 years of driving. I have really liked the various VW's friends have owned, and can appreciate why owners enjoy them, but they all came with HUGE maintenance headaches.
