this should be reliabile and have good quality. anyways get rid of the rabbit name, doesnt make any sense to change the nameplate of the legendary golf.

but I live in the US, I'm not surprised if it was very reliabile since VW is more a very respected company there. but the US is a different situation. not saying theyre bad cars, but repairs and etc arent close to my budget. as do most german cars.
