Bullshit! Having twenty years of VW ownership under my belt, I can tell you that the VWs I have owned have held up better than the Hondas I have owned. They are solid cars and I would've bought another one but I was looking for a good affordable commuter car and after driving a Yaris sedan for a rental, I decided to try the hatchback.

I love my Yaris but it doesn't come close to the solid feel that our VWs had. Same goes with our Honda, a $35K Odyssey that is definitely more "thin-skinned" than our VWs.

Had the new Jetta sportwagon diesels been a little more competitively priced, we would have had one of those parked in the driveway; but I did the numbers and realized the price difference wouldn't have paid itself off even after ten years.
