depends on type, usage etc. the usual culprit are mechatronic and clutch on the dry clutch version, but those days are long gone in my opinion

clutch is wear and tear, but wearing out before 100k is not something i would say acceptable.

they are many with wet clutches above 200k doing ok - if you are just driving on highway all the time with minimal gearchange, you will rack up your mileage a lot but not much wear at the gearbox. so "low mileage" can have its bad points

there are markets for it for sure, sg halfcut cars, buy halfcut accident cars with many usable items left, and sell it, there are many for sale for golf mk6/5 etc, some new parts are expensive, so why waste used good parts that are still workable.

Hurm why is VW positioning themselves as a performance brand? They should opt for reliability like Toyota.

I look at their cars like Passat, I think of uncles on Camry

I look at their smaller cars, i think of youngsters on Vios

They should use normal, reliable Autos for their normal cars, even the Passat

Save the DSG on CC and Golf/Polo. This is how Bimmer does it, only the M cars have DSG. I believe F80 M3 uses DSG while F30 used 8AT

VW common problem is only their DSG/Mechatronic on the lower end models, rarely seen an issue on their performance models such as the GTI/R series unless u do stage 2 or 3 without properly tuned or cooling system.

I owned a Golf R before, the most major repair i've done is changing the water pump (2 times) and fuel injectors.

I would say its quite reliable car for everyday use. Just keep it stock.

VW Passat w/ the wet clutch DSG is damn reliable already.

I think Gen DQ381, long gone are the days with DQ2 Gen Dry Clutch.
