I’m not even talking about that. I’m talking about stretched timing chains and faulty tensioners in an interference engine, causing catastrophic engine failure; plastic water pump impellers that break; windows that spontaneously explode; faulty high-pressure fuel pumps; blown turbochargers; leaky panoramic sunroofs; carbon buildup on the tops of intake valves and in intake manifolds; plastic intake manifold flappers that break; blown head gaskets; faulty transmissions; leaky main seals; faulty ignition coils; etc. Newer VWs really suck. You have to go back half-a-century to a German-made bug to find one worth a damn. I mean, they’re stylish and have great features and technology (when it works), but they’re not worth the headaches, even if you have a great warranty. I’d rather own boring, like a Toyota, if it means I’m not wasting my time taking my car to a shop or dealership for repairs and don’t have to waste money buying an extended warranty. Plus VW resale value blows, just like their engines.
As for Teslas, I’ve heard they suffer from issues, but, because I’ve never owned one personally, I’ll cease my rant and let someone else comment.
