I would guess that "reliability" metrics mostly irrelevant. Auto purchasing is usually at least 40% emotional even for the most practical buyer. If this weren't the case you wouldn't see bling wheels, spoilers, SUVs, etc. Even someone who buys brand X because brand Y is "unreliable" is being emotional. In the case of VW, if you're even considering them you're an emotional car buyer. For my part, I'm a 100% emotional car buyer. I don't care about reliability because I lease and about the only metric that has ever given me pause is safety. I usually get AWD, I always buy good tires, and I want my car to have a good crash test rating. Other than that, it's all about fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206259 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
