Since Vw Is The Number 1 Car Company In The World, You Would Think It Would Be Better Than Toyo & Honda. What I Saw While Working At Toyota, Was The Typical Import Owner Will Spend Money On Maintenace Services Before A Domestic Customer Will. So The Question Is, Is It A Better Car Or Just Better Maintained. This May Be Why I Havn't Had To Walk In The Last 34 Years. I Do Prevent Maint On My Vehicles.
I Bought A New 2000 Dodge, The Toyo Salesman Bought A New Tundra. He Told Me I Was An Idiot. Well 6 Months Later & One Pair Of Camshafts, 2 Frt Diffs, & A Engine Wiring Harness Later. I Let Him Know That My Dodge Had Not Been Back To The Dealer. So Much For Japanese Quaility. This Is Not An Isolated Story. We Had Engine Replacement & Head Gasket Problems With The 3.4 V6s. When We Were Slow, We Just Started Making Phone Calls For The Recall Customers. I Do Get A Little Bent When I Hear That The Jap Imports Are So Much Better. They Are Just Better At Keeping Their Problems Under Wraps. Oh Yea, Don't Forget About The Oil Sludging Problem That Toyota Covered Up. Every Certified Used Toyo Got A New Oil Filler Cap.
