No it is not. They are producing emissions way above what they are meant
to. If altering the software so they stick within their claimed emissions
also reduces the performance, it's up to the owner to get compensation.
There will be lots of others in the same position.

Going to be fascinating to see if they get a full refund of the
original purchase price and so effectively the free use of the
car for the time they have had it apart from registration and
insurance and fuel costs etc. They should IMO if the car is
what they would not have bought if they could have seen
how it performs with when it's not exceeding the emissions
that the law allows. Corse that would bankrupt VW which
isn't really a great idea given how decent some of their
cars are otherwise.
