No one was debating VW handling, they'd win hands down - no competition. IMO, their cars are nice, just their customer service is crap when things go wrong.Originally Posted by mrgu

Media blowup
VW claims no problems
Continued media blow up and incident reports
VW keeps quiet
Government may launch inquest into VW quality
VW says come take your car for a free inspection
Continued public backlash
OK, maybe their is something wrong with our DSG. We are only recalling for the 7 speed dry, we'll take a look at the mechatronics unit and replace if necessary . Owners with 6 speeds, gtfo nothing wrong with your gearbox 10k replacement if it fails.
Read their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/VolkswagenA...ef=ts&filter=2 seems as if more troubled users than happy ones.

If you think Hondas response to the oil consumption thread we had here was bad, take a look at those forums, how much oil their cars drink and what VW response is like.
I know Honda gearbox's aren't known to be the best but do we constantly see failures on this forum/others?
Hopefully the backlash will lessen their arrogance. Their treatment of customers is absolutely ridiculous.
Is there bias here? Maybe, but if you had said a Mazda 6/VF commodore vs Accord Euro Navi. I'd be congratulating them on how far they've come and that Honda should lift their game with the next Euro. HUD/Auto parallel park/blind spot alert/radar cruise systems - shieeett. I wouldn't mind one of those over a Euro but a Passat? No chance (well, at least not for the time being).
