I hate my car.

[DanHarper]

Obviously there are exceptions :P

 

I don't think Briskoda can be used to determine the average Skoda Fabia driver.

[Ootohere]

Obviously!

:clap: :moon: ........very childish!

[booke23]

Is the CITIGO/UP!/Mii not the Budget option now from VWG.

 

True, but only very recently.....and arguably, being city cars are perhaps a bit of a niche......plus they are built even worse than the Fabia!

Maybe......Or perhaps the OP is just misguided.......which would be the case if he is basing his entire view of VAG group cars on his experience of owning a Fabia.

And ragging it around a track by the looks of it :P

What?  After the JD powers survey, VAG filled nearly the whole of the top 10 reliable cars.

Really? http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/full-results/1206903

has the OP actually bothered to respond to his mild anti VAG stance? Anything to back up his opinion?

Probably too busy looking at Fiats or a Ssangyong.

Nothing wrong with Fiat. There have been several in my family and I've owned two. All have been faultless.

Wait a minute, I seem to have misplaced my bumper book of stereotypes.

Yeah but let's be honest, the only reason why they score so highly is because VW & skoda have such a cult following so their owners are more likely to fill these surveys in.

 

Eh, says who!?

[sparks03]

Don't forget that most cars (not just VAG) have components from the likes of Bosch and Continental etc and so problems like the mk60 Teves abs unit failures affect multiple manufacturers.

Exactly. With mass production and shared components there's always chance of hitting a duffer no matter what marque you buy.

[grr666]

I might buy a VW van next but my car is unlikely to be a VAG

next time around...

[TriggerFish]

Another one put off VAG cars here too. 4 out of 3 were bad, hardly a good advert from my experience.

Reliability aside, my bmw seems much nicer engineered and built and is easier to work on, whjch also helps. And I can change the bulb in 19 seconds, not take the bumper off and headlights off. I'm looking at you polo gti!

[fabiamk2SE]

4 out of 3 were bad?

1 was bad and you dint even have it? .

Let me guess......the Fabia and Polo were bad and the Golf was good. 

[Sparkly]

Well that's 30 seconds of my life I will never get back.

 

Should have known better after the first post.

 

Ho Hum, all that's left is to get back to work.

Every company makes lemons.

[Ootohere]

VWG manufacturers are able to make Face Lift Lemons,

Mk2 & Mk3 Lemons, and continue to Evolve Lemon Type faults as the decades go on.

 

Vorsprung Durch Technik

 

Since the time of and ever since they moved on from Air Cooled,

they seem to be able regularly fail to Build Engines that keep Fluids in, & Vehicles that keep H20 Out.

They also seem to have a problem with Chains & Belts,

in that keeping many of them tensioned seems beyond their Engineering Capabilities.

 

If they got  Technology correct, and improved and Developed.  then advance they will build great vehicles,

but the Volkswagen Group seem to prefer to ignore and deny, then just carry on as before.

 

If they listened and acted on Owners Experiences, they might suffer less failures & get Improved Reliability.

Not just Improved Customer Satisfaction Survey Results, while providing often Poorly Designed & Manufactured Products.

Quality Control of Parts, penny pinching on important parts, and Quality Control off the Line from the Factory seems to be the Issue,  then Dealerships that employ 'Tommy's'.

Deaf, Dumb & Blind 'Factory Trained' Technicians.

I'm not too keen on my ex either. She was probably just as untrustworthy so I'll do you a straight swap if you want.....

[RoadWarrior]

I too, have also contributed to this thread.

Hi,

This is your car. I hate you too.

I want the dog, the house and half the money.

You can keep the kids.
