or Subaru's or Nissan's or other Japanese cars. This is a fact. VW's are better looking and more fun to drive and more respectable to have in your driveway though. That's why people have VW's. And VW's are not really unreliable either, its just that they don't quite measure up to the Japanese cars due to a few small persistent problems that pop up on a few peoples cars. Its really that simple.
