The curse of all modern VWs is that they seem to be plagued by rattles and squeeks,which would drive me insane.

And avoid French cars,they are horrific to own and maintain.
Beauty is to the eyes of the beholder, I personally think a Black Superb with extra dark tint = gangster.

After owning a CL9... Although it gave me no trouble, the dealer experience had been sub-par at the best.

I don't believe this whole "reputation" thing anymore, I mean... A Toyota has got a reliable reputation... then it kills you because the brake or gas fails. Skoda had a horrid eastern European reputation, then the Germans took over.

At least with VW dealers I'll know they'll be using VW extended service oil... Not Castrol GTX or some other cheap s*** that comes in a barrel.

Part prices from Honda Australia are matching European cars, thank god for eBay...

The new VW 7spd DSG uses 1.7 ltr of DSG oil, compares to the 7ltr of the old 6spd.

AS to the servicing cost thingy below are some interesting data from carservice.com.au, I took the high end of cost spectrum.
