It's been interesting to see the mixed reactions I get when people learn that I bought a VW. I'm known for my research-minded ways when it comes to big decisions, so I think the reliability (or lack thereof) reputation that Volkswagen has caused people to be surprised by my purchase. But for as many horror stories that I've read or heard, I've also heard from many owners who swear by and love their VWs and have had minor to no issues. Given how in love with my car I am after just one week...I get why VW owners love their cars (but, I'll admit, I still have my fingers crossed that I won't be plagued with too many quirks or issues). see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

That people automatically assume that all VWs are unreliable just because they had problems with their cars in the late 90s/early 00s. The new Jetta and Rabbit are MUCH better than they used to be. The TDIs especially are very reliable. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

VW gets a bad reputation for reliability and quality though they build an excellent vehicle in terms of safety, handling and fun to drive. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

I have always been a Toyota buyer.... I did not like the styling of the new Rav and decided to give Honda a look. Glad I did... Honda and Toyota always seemed to run neck and neck on quality.... now I hear Toyota has slipped a bit. see full Honda CR-V review |

All Honda owners that I know LOVE their vehicle, and they all claim their next purchase will be another Honda. This is my first Honda and with only (500) miles on it, I have little, if anything to gripe about. see full Honda CR-V review |
