What's wrong with VWs?
They used to be great but the last 30 years the quality has gone way down, to the point where they’re the worst build EUDM vehicles you can buy, save for GM vehicles. Even Audi, their premium brand, has become shit. Stellantis may have worse software but they’re arguably better build. To be fair the quality, industry wide with no exceptions, has gone down but VW have done some questionable things, like dieselgate and the launch of the ID3/4, that ended up insanely expensive and has forced them to pinch every penny.
