So why bother reading about something, you neither own or like?

Ditto that, and for the dig at the warranties. We're all entitled to
our opinions. I don't think Wade will find much sympathy here for his.


I don't bow toward Wolfsburg and worship blindly. I think most people
here and in the multitude of other VW groups participate because we've
had ownership experiences where reliability and value have far
outweighed the occasional consternation over glitches in design or
parts availability. I've heard Mercedes, BMW and Volvo owners make
some of the same gripes about their cars that cost twice as much or
more, where there's no excuse for poor quality in the product or the
service.

I see more old VWs still on the road than most other makes. A few of
them used to be mine, which is while I still buy VW: '90 Corrado, 135k
miles; '78 Rabbit, 156k miles; '77 Rabbit, 192k miles; -- all going
strong when I passed them on. None of them were trouble free, but I
think my parents spent more to fix a couple of American cars than it
cost me to buy *and* own my first 3 VWs.

No one is immune to problems, but I think we do better than others. I
know I have.
