Never buy a Ford (Fiesta) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Interesting that VW's are considered "problem cars" in Europe as well. Here in the US, they are famous for having electrical problems. A friend of the family has a VW Golf, and at only 50,000 miles, it started having a lot of problems. For example, the car would be stopped at a red light, and the engine would just shut down, couldn't be restarted, and the car had be be towed. And I that happened several times. I just presumed it was because most, of not all, of the VW's sold in the US are made in Mexico. But it looks like VW have problems, no matter the country of manufacture.
