Not sure about reliability especially with the dry clutch gearbox.

But safety and nvh is definitely best in class. Power too.

Hmm...VW is being notorious of the poor reliability of the cars previously. I can't comment much as i do not own any VW before, just wait some VW owners to give u their opinions.

VW cars from 2015 onwards are quite reliable. Most of the notorious DSG gearbox issues have been solved.

you should know their reliability through their FB comments.

if you think otherwise, own one..

VW outside of Malaysia is a hell of a tough car and heavy duty too. sadly... sad.gif

Since reliability is high on your list, I'd say go for something else.

That is a shame. Almost bought one few months ago too. Now, I'm willing to wait till next year to buy a new car since I restored the current car I'm using.

Think that u have mistaken about dry vs wet clutch. All high end vw using wet clutch especially 2.0 passat, gti and few.

Rest base vw model using 7 gear dry clutch, as passat 1.8, jetta, polo etc.

Doesn’t matter, both have to change mechatronic, clutch after certain time/ mileage due to wear and tear. Sometimes it happen before certain mileage due to driving patterns.

oh sorry... maybe i should mentioned... car that would not breakdown consistently or masuk kilang in very short period interval because of issues other than dead battery, tyre puncture, overheating or other small issues ... so far japanese cars majority proven to be reliable in such a way....
