I know a chap who works at a VW service desk and his wife at Toyota.
They compared notes and he bought a Toyota.
His VW boss was quite upset. He said I just couldn't face the problems
our customers do.

A few months ago VW ran ads saying their quality was now much better.
They admitted they had quality problems, now to see if they really are
better.

Nothing new there.
I had a 1961 VW beetle. The under dash clip electrical connectors were
continually coming lose, losing power to various circuits.
I fixed it by soldering all under dash connectors. <
