That's nice but it doesn't really pertain to the topic at hand.

Has to be driven 20 under the speed limit and only during midday on weekdays and late mornings on the weekend.

Whenever I see people with GoPro's jutting off of their heads whether it be at a ski resort or power wheel racing it always reminds me of people taking picture after picture and "selfies" during special occasions and vacations.

And there it is, the most predictable comment on a Jalopnik article in the known universe's history.

this whole story just makes me pissed and it's getting worse by the day.

The thing that separates the GTI from all hot hatches, even this SEAT, is that badge.

May I suggest this as a penetrating lubricant. I've used WD-40 and PB Blaster for a long time, and they don't compare to the power of this stuff.

I have never ever been a muscle car guy. But this Hellcat just might convert me.

super cars are bizarre, impractical, and eyecatching.

Everyone here does the VW community a complete disservice. They get their facts from anecdotal evidence of bad forums like VWvortex, but every VW meet I've gone too is attended by the friendliest people you could ever ask for.

Doesn't matter. Jalopnik hates Volkswagen almost as much as they hate the F35

seeing as you suggested the MKIV for the list yourself you probably shouldn't venture into those dark depths.

It was placed well on the list. No one says its a bad car, and the reason for it being on it was reliability and how it hurt VW's reputation as such.

The sheer size of 3rd party support for the MKIV platform should be evidence enough for the love for these cars.

In america car ownership goes like this.

sweet delicious, seasoned old man tears.

How does your culture value proper repair and proper maintenance both regular and preventative?

Dude looks way too clean/bright-eyed/in-wonder-of-the-world to be a dealer mechanic

I think it still deserves a place on the list, albeit lower. Like Patrick said, it's not a bad car, it's just that era of VW, but lets be honest, Mercedes-Benz and BMW reliability.
