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.
