no so poorly built but all the electrical gremlins that they have are horendous, cost of repairs is stupid expensive and if you own one you will know how stupid they are...VW has been voted one the most unreliable cars by consumer reports numerous times
but hey, if u like it and u hopefully get one thats not a driving repair bill you should be happy...atleast they dont rust like hondas do

^^ haha some of them do.... I looked at one in the summer.. 95 gti vr6 golf...
under the hatch rust..
rust on the bottom...eww. lol its all about how to take care of your car aswell...
and plus if you compare a 1990 Civic to a 1990 Golf/Jetta..
I think the vw will have more rust.. and the floor falling out..depending on the owner.. haha
When I look at post.. vw owners make a point of saying the floor is still in tact on the older vws.. haha
