I had a Jetta in that era. Died after just 135,000 miles. Family was also into other German cars. They all had expensive issues. We switched to Japanese cars and stopped worrying about car repairs. Unfortunately, there is no real reason to buy a German car unless you’re hoping someone notices the car you drive. When I see people driving German cars, I mostly see people too rich to care about car repairs or a sucker.
