I got a buddy that’s a VW Rabbit freak.....I men he’s got a BUNCH of ‘em.

He says any VW made after 2009 is junk anyway.

My wife bought a new Jetta in 1981 before we were married. It was just ok.

In 2004, we bought a used 2000 Jetta as a third car for the kids to use. It was junk. Every plastic part in the cabin broke and it drank a quart of oil at every fill-up! That was our “Never again!” car.

The model used in Remington Steele.

Yup, just like every other German car and most everything built these days. That’s coming from a VW owner.

weren’t the original VW Rabbits notorious for valve guide failures?

The 2.5 was the last good VW engine if you ignore the Volkswagen routan which was just a glorified Dodge caravan.

I never liked anything they made that had spark plugs. But I do love me a pre dieselgate TDI. I drive one every day
