Has anyone been a VW owner? Thinking about a honda civic or a vw golf. i know body styles are very different, but i'm trying to think "cost of ownership". Any bizarre maintenance issues? When looking at the cars online, they seem kind of comparable, but cost is different. I know both brands are reliable - looking for people's experience to help in my search!

 

Owned a beatle years ago,but if I were to consider a car it would be the Honda for sure.

 

ive had a jetta. but i honestly prefer a honda

 

VWs are over engineered there good drivers cars but only when there electrical systems are actually working which is not often.stick with honda there the most reliable. here is an interesting survey on how bad german cars are http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...ty-survey.html
