I bought the VW's on their past reputation.

The "Volkswagen", the original design, is what I was talking about. Not
the price point engineered models they started making to woo and placate
the American consumer with the junk they prefer.

Exactly!



The original VW bug was inexpensive to buy, and relatively inexpensive
to repair. That is hardly the same as being reliable.
