I own both and have worked on both. the vw will also hold its value way better.

I didn't know vw built such reliable and durable vehicles. I've got only about 8 vw customers [Passat, Jetta, Beetle] ...all the Beetles have broken door handles and center consoles hanging by about one screw, 2 out of 3 Passats blew their motors, Jetta blew its motor, Passat is infested with electrical gremlins, they've all got some sort of broken plastics galore [visors, vents, splash shields, engine covers, air inlets, and most are leaking 1 or more fluids.

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.
