I have owned from new a Nissan 200SX R Spec Turbo I have done 215,000kms with no problems with scheduled services, so stop worrying about reliability!! The Germans win on technology, refinement and quality, that is what they do best and there is certainly nothing wrong with any of the Golf range being suitable for Australian conditions other than being a submarine in the wet, wet?? in my opinion...a well deserved and honourable score.

Audi won 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 now that's German engineering. They may not be good in sending men to the moon but they sure can build cars.

It was not the invention of the turbo charger being quoted, it is the combination of the turbo and supercharger on the same engine which is being attributed to the Italians.

I remember accelerating hard in mum’s HJ many years ago, to merge onto a highway, next thing BANG! goes number 4! - What a complete load of crap. VW Freak Says:
