Vee haff vays of making you pay!
Lost count of the number of ignition switches i've had to renew on those posh VWs aka Porsches not to mention a plethora of other electrical faults. Mechanically the older ones are better than ~mid 90s onwards as they were built to a specification rather than a price and didn't have a 100k mile life expectancy.
They're not worse than the French stuff but that isn't saying much to be honest!
The best German cars are Mercs but, like all other manufacturers from the mid-late 90s onwards, built everything to a price rather than a standard so they're not really any better than anything else, just the price tag makes you think that.
