VAG.... and Mercedes

Posted by Owen on June 21, 2005 at 05:59:21:
Ok, lets take a closer look at these imposters.
Mercedes - Benz - key protoagonist in ChryslerBenz, and many toys are from the Chrysler parts bin. Competantly designed chassis, and body shell, and can be mechanically a bit wayward. Expect electrics and the odd mechanical to fail
VAG - Volkswagen Audi Group, includes Skoda, and SEAT, as well as large scale collaboration with Ford. Never owned one, never will own one. The number of people I know who've had major issues with VAG cars is very high - ironically Skodas seem to fair better than Audi's and Volkswagens, so the Czech quality control must be better than the homelands.
I liken audi to citroen - technologically interesting, but generally unreliable.
I have an e36 touring - 130k miles on the clock, drives like a dream on regular servicing (but then the garage I go to is good...)
Just my perspective after 6 years of ownership..
