I'd say the more reliable car is the better built car. VWs are fun to drive, but I'd sure hate to pay the price of admission to own one that costs a lot more to purchase, and a lot more to maintain.

and I can point out plenty of camrys with oil leaking v6's bad knock sensors and do you remember the HEAD GASKET recall they had on the v6 tacoma's. every car line builds lemons toyota has plenty of problems trust me they are in the spot light every week for recalls. the reason the yaris doenst break is because there is nothing to it there are no options, its basicly a roller skate with an engine. I agree with you though the old passat is a turd any volkswagen 2005 and up are great cars.
