VWs are nice looking cars and they drive great, however they often turn into maintenance nightmares in my experience. Prior to my 2014 Yaris I owned a 2010 Golf. It is why I now own the Yaris. Several strandings, constant fights with the dealership, just an unreliable car. After that experience I specifically searched for a reliable vehicle and that's what lead me to the Yaris. (BTW thank you to Yarisworld for helping in that decision.)

At the time I owned the Golf there were about 6 other guys at work who also owned VWs. None of us now do. Take that for what it's worth. As for myself I will never own another VW. I learned my lesson.

Ahhh, that doesn't sound good at all. Did yours have the 2.5 5-cylinder and 6-speed auto? Regardless, could you please elaborate a bit on the types of issues you had? I do appreciate the input. Thanks for that.

One customer satisfaction site I was on gave the car a 4.8/5.
