Interesting.
I have driven vw/audi exclusively pretty much my entire life, until I came to NZ, and can’t fault them.

Not sure why every kiwi I talk to reckons they are shite. Maybe the ones shipped here are built somewhere else.

Having said that, I will never get rid of the prado. Best truck I’ve ever owned.

Oh I have driven them don't you worry.

I will further clarify my statement.

I will not touch anything Volkswagen that was built after... around 2010 (?)... When planned obsolecence was becoming common practice with their cars and any remnants of quality control or common sense when designing went out the window...

And yes its a shame, I still think that they are beautiful cars. But I am past the point in my life where I need a nice looking car. Something that does not immediately fail after 3 years is far more important now.
