If Volkswagen means People's Car, then why do their cars break so often and are expensive to fix?
I'm speaking about only VW cars and that excludes Audis, Skoda, SEAT and other companies owned by VW.
Literally WTF

Volkswagen being called the "people's car" comes from the fact that the Nazis offered a program in which their citizens could get points on a voucher and eventually have enough that the government would give them a beetle (it wasn't called a beetle at the time, nor was the company called Volkswagen)
Unfortunately the Nazis soon began preparing for war and the car's factory was used to make war machines and no one ever received the cars they worked so hard for. Pretty fucked up move by the Nazis honestly.

It was called "Kraft durch Freude Wagen" or simply KdF Wagen. Kraft durch Freude was the program that organized vacations etc. to ensure the Gleichschaltung, I don't know the english term for it.
Robert Collins
Gleichschaltung = samegearing

>I don't know the english term for it.
Kraft durch Freude Wagen was a Nazi slogan.
Translated, it means "Strength through Joy Car"

It was the people's car. You can repair a Beetle all by yourself and it's retardely cheap to maintain.
Leo Jackson
On point question.

But they are not. At least they aren't here in Europe. If it's expensive for you to maintain golf or Passat you probably shouldn't own a car but rather use city transport.

Dumbass.
