I've read many posts herein about VW reliability being less than great. The DSG is crap and VW won't fix this or that and so on............
Well let me bring you up to date and back to reality.
I have two rides:
1) A 2010 VW Jetta TDI and
2) A 2006 Lexus IS 250
I purchased the Lexus new in August, 2006 and as of today I have only 28,670 miles on the clock.
So far here is what I've had done to the car:
New front brake pads: Eliminate dust buildup
New rear brake pads: Eliminate squealing
New Power steering ECU: Fix electric steering
New Cam tensioner: Eliminate chain noise
New Fuse box circuit breaker: Fix battery.
New rearviiw mirror: Fix automatic dinning problem.
.............almost forgot this one. Replaced all fuel lines to prevent rusting when using Ethanol.
All of the above were corrected under warranty........
What is Lexus? Number 1 or 2 in JD Powers Reliability rating: Hardly.
People die and cars breakdown..........it's how the world works......
