Why can't VW make cars this quality ever again?

But I like reliable cars.

>Borra
>quality
the fuck are you smoking? Also that's obviously OEM+

>anything mk4 being better than what vw has to offer now

Phaeton

this is still better

>not RR

the phaeton kept going till 2016 so its not really mk4 era

Why do people insist on posting VAG shit on Veeky Forums when they know that 99% of Veeky Forums readers have no experience with the brand but continually shit on it anyway?

because love it or hate it, VAG makes great cars once in a while

Like the vr6 corrado

still a better car. Stay mad

nah the classic beetle is objectively the best one

mk4s are trash

My brother had an 04 with the 2.0. Shit car,always something needing repaired or replaced . Especially when it got closer to 100k miles. Traded it in for a scion xD. The vw interior and driving manners were great. Just shit reliability

should have gotten a turbodiesel desu

I love the old air cooled bugs. And even I say the new ones are better.

Besides. You can AWD swap them. VWVortex did it. just cut out the trunk pan and weld in the one from the Golf R. everything bolts in

Have a 1.4 Golf as my first car for a year and havent had any problems. Car always stayed outside and havent had to replace the battery.
Ride is pretty comfy but its slow as a turtle.

because americans don't like paying for higher quality.

pick up my first car next week.
1.9 gttdi mk4 golf.
genuinely in love with it after the test drive

tdis are genuinely great

engine rebuild 4k miles ago.
new cams and belt.
has a water leak atm but is a £5 part to solve

They make a turbocharged 2L that runs 25 pounds of boost stock and makes like 330hp and 400tq reliably with just a flash. That’s pretty fucking good

And GM makes a 4.8L V8 so overbuilt you can blow pretty much as much boost as you want and the internals won't break. What's your point?

GM a shit

GM can make a glorious engine though. VW hasn't got shit on GM quality, especially with most of their cars being built in Mexico.

GM doesn't offer that in a sporty hatchback that retails for $23k? lol

They have the Cruze and Sonic. The 1.4L Turbo is pretty damned capable.

Are the new golfs imported from Germany or Mexico/Brazil?

I have a MK4, which I love, but the Brazilian build quality scares me.
I honestly believe a German made car would hold up better over time than one made in Brazil

Mexico

>Mk4
>"Quality"
I'd say theyre the worse gen but the mk5 exists

Golf and golf GTI are made in Mexico, but it is a state of the art facility.

All Golf R are still made in Germany.

No wonder my brother's GTI is such a turd
