"I have no idea what I'm doing."

These cars are over hyped, over priced, underpowered, overengineered turds. VW just doesn't make a well built car right now. Every owner I know that's bought one in the last 4 years has had a car that's plagued with issues. Get your shit together VW. You used to have cool shit.

It's amazing how a prolonged bad experience can ruin you on an entire brand.

expand that to anything from the VAG. How one company can consistently build such lousy products and sell them by mass advertising is truly amazing.

If you knew anything at all about Consumer Reports, you'd know that it has never accepted an ad from anyone.

My friend bought one of the special edition models, with Brembo brakes and Recaro seats, new from the dealer about 7ish years ago. He liked it until the car was 1000 miles out of the powertrain warranty. He was driving one state away on a business trip when the timing belt broke (was not due for replacement for many…

I have owned over 60 VWs in my 40 years of driving, mostly air cooled. I won't buy another water cooled v-dub until they can make a better car.
If you look at the consumer reports automobile ratings/reviews, all VWs have had consistent bad marks across all categories for years and years. Since their ratings are based…

I own an older GTI and I have several friends with Mk6 GTIs... They're fun to drive but I won't ever buy one again. They need constant attention, maintenance wise. I like wrenching on my car on the weekend, but if I knew that's what my VW experience would be like from the beginning, I would have just bought a busted…

"...about as reliable as a parent with a drug habit", lol, that's good. But I'd still rather have a parent with a drug habit than a GTI, (or anything remotely resembling a 'hot hatch').

I've felt this way for a while. When I bought my car last year, my original list was Focus ST, Golf GTI, Mazdaspeed3. I test drove them all, the GTI I never even considered. It was just so boring compared to the other 2. The guy at the VW dealership really tried to convince me how well it was made by showing me how…

It's an $850,000 amphibious motorcoach. Like, a motorhome that can ford rivers like you're some modern Oregon Trail pioneer. Only with less dysentery.

Something about the raisins in a Chunky bar make it taste even more like fake chocolate than it already is, bringing it to near Palmer's levels of fake. Also, I'm not totally convinced the Palmer's "chocolate" and Palmer's cocoa butter aren't the same company.

She's lucky... most kids with congenital achromaticity usually don't grow out of it.

It's an impressive act of mimicry and ventriloquism, but there's sort of an uncanny valley thing going on. I mean, obviously she's got great pipes, but I've never thought that kids doing spot on impressions of adult singing styles does anyone any favors, in that it perpetuates the cultural tendency towards…
