hey, your entitle to your opinion, im not going to change your mind. vws arent the best cars out there, all cars have room for improvement. the only bad part about vw is they are so expensive to maintain..there not cheap at all, the quality vw put in theirs cars are awesome..ill give you one example. i was towing a car and i used a spare screw off a vw i had laying around so i can tie the chain together, i pulled that car all the way home with no problems and the screw was still perfect, vw even puts effort in making their screw strong, now Mazda, they lack quality in their screw and many other parts, another example, i was tightening a screw on my msp motor and it striped and the head broke off"water exit on driver side (upyours)". like i said, every car has room to improve, some people are hard-head and think their cars are the best, those people are ignorant. i like all cars, thats why i switch from vw to Mazda and after the Mazda, its going to be a audi.
my point in all this would be: all car could improve. the only reason i "pick Mazda" was b/c this is a Mazda forum. and if you guys cant handle a opinion without getting hurt about it, then im sorry, you shouldn't be on the web. im not here to argue, i just stated my opinion. if i offend anybody, truly sorry.
