VW - Would you buy another car?
As everyone knows, Volkswagen recently came in the news with a leak that they cheated with emission tests on some of theyre cars.
According to lawyers, the consumer has been misled.
Would you buy another VW again or do you say it's game-over for VW and if you have a VW, would you claim for a compensation if you currently have a VW?
I liked the small VW cars by how they look but after this I wouldn't be certain if I would buy one ever but on the other hand, I don't think that VW is the only Company that cheats with results.
Any other thoughts?
Re: VW - Would you buy another car?
VW has been on the market for quite long, and I personally do not think that this will be their downfall. Yes, it would affect sales, however their cars are reliable when you think of it, parts are not that expensive, so even if you pay extra taxes for the emissions, I don't think it would affect you that much, if it does, at least you know you have a decent car on which you can rely.
I also have a liking for the small models, like Polo and Golf.
Re: VW - Would you buy another car?
I have a VW Gti but it's not a diesel. I live their cars, I get 32 miles to a gallon and it's custom with aftermarket parts. The car is fast and good gas mileage. VW will still stand strong.

I just think it is part of the marketing system that the world provides for these companies. The amount of companies that have to do recalls on their products cannot be counted on two hands. You're kidding me if you think that a large percentage of those recalls were not purposely put there by the engineers hoping to slip by inspectors.

Well yea but a recall isn't good for a company as it costs them money, not the consumer.
Re: VW - Would you buy another car?
This is implying that I have already bought a VW.
While looking for a new car last year, buying a gold did cross my mind. however, the value for money wasn't great, and I could get a better Astra for the money, so I bought that. Now this situation has come about, I am very apprehensive to even consider VW now.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is, they were hoping there wouldn't be a recall that it would slip by.

Re: VW - Would you buy another car?
There are only two VW I would ever buy.
The LT35 Transporter because they're beautiful and probably the terminator of all campervans (I'm not a hippie, chill).
Or the MK4 Golf because a V8 Audi S4 engine will slot straight in without any major effort.
Volkswagons are awesome but their more modern cars aren't that great. If you ever wanna get a vw, go oldskool ;)

The MK4 Golf looks fine though specially when theyre fully worked out on design & customizations, they can be real beauty's.

From the mk1 - mk4 the golf's designs have been great but after the mk4 is when they started to go downhill.
The 1.9 tdi mk4 are brilliant on fuel. I was using one with a friend and £30 got us exactly 563.5 miles averaging about 70mph. They're also surprisingly comfy to do a long roadtrip in lol.
