Seen this before. Was saddened because my wife's VW was on there until I saw that they mentioned that the manual diesels were an exception.

Interesting - we have two Toyota Rav4s which get among the lowest ratings, but Consumer Reports always has them in the top 1 or 2 in that class with pretty good reliability. My wife had a VW SW - nice when it ran but at 180K miles it was turning into a money pit. She's had the RAV4 for 18 month and has gotten the oil changed twice. Mine is 6 years old with 100K and the starter and AC were replaced under warranty 2 years ago. Nothing else has gone bad.

Got a 03 TDI Beetle going on 200k. Time to do timing belt again. As long as you fix stuff right away and not let it become a huge issue VWs are ok.
