Question 2
Why are there so many questions about VW?...  I see umpteen questions about VW's, is it because they are cr4p, they go on for longer, cheap to buy, or what.
It certainly is not that they are cheap to maintain.
The question means relative to all other marques. Many others are also as mass produced but none has the same number of questions.

Answers
1)   possibly because people have high expectations of the quality they are supposed to have down to the inflated prices they fetch - for some years now the once high quality has just bnot been there it seems - Timbo is here

2)   Could be something to do with the fact you're in the Volkswagen section. - "isitme"

3)   One excellent reason is that VW sells 6.4 Million cars a year. Thats quite a customer base. Considering that fact a few posts on Yahoo is inconsequential. What percentage is that? Maybe .0005 % of people desiring help with cars that are sometimes 10 years old.
So that means abt. 90 some % of VW buyers are happy.
Plus , car magazines often praise VW quality. For example, Automobile Magazine voted GTI Car of the Year. They bought one and tested/flogged it for a year. One year later, they stated not one single problem
My wife and I have been driving VWs for over 20 years. Currently we own a Jetta and a GTI. Both cars are ultra-reliable. Neither has ever let us down.
Contrary to what some believe, VWs are a joy to maintain! We have over 60,000 reliable and free of worry miles on them. The only things we have done maintenance-wise is change oil/filter. My friends who own VWs back this up . Myth debunked!
Are VWs perfect? Of course not. There are some years and models I would shy away from. Overall, though I remain loyal to VW.
So hope Ive cleared up some mis-conceptions abt. these wonderfully engineered, safe, fun to drive cars. - fenton

4)   Well as a driver of various new VW's over the last 10 years, golfs, jettas, and currently a top of the line passat, i would say the quality / finish is still top notch.

I have done over 200,000 miles in 0 - 3 year old VW's and have never been left stranded, if they do break they generally go into limp mode to get you home.

All these people that say the are rubbish are possibly slating something which they cannot afford / never actually lived with, all types of cars suffer with the odd 'built on a friday afternoon' issue. Most forums are geared towards cars with issues and not thousands of people praising their faultless car.

Where does the expensive to maintain rumour come from, mine usually costs £ 250.00 every 20K miles and then the usual extra for belt changes etc etc. Not that expensive at all.

If i ever get an issue with my car i ring up the dealer, he books me in, makes me a nice coffee, gives me the keys to a new golf and say thay will ring me when its done. They even valet my car for me before handing back...........................FANTASTIC SERVICE.

I also have a MK 1 golf GTI, which is still as solid as they day it drove out of the showroom, there are still 20+ year old VW's everywhere, how many old fords, vauxhalls, renaults do you see - NOT MANY - PHIL B

Question 3
Is it possible for someone to get into you car without using a key?...  I drive a VW Golf 4 and the other day I got to my car and I'm 100% sure someone was inside it. Thing is, the windows weren't broken, and none of the doors looked like they'd been tampered with... I usually open/lock my car using the remote (which also activates the alarm).... both keys to the car were in my house the whole night so they weren't used to open the car. I can't figure out how someone could have gotten in the car... any suggestions?
Lol! I was out late the night before but I wasn't drinking... and I'm rather sure I locked the car (pressed the button and heard the beep)... and even if I didn't the car automatically locks about 30-60 secs after you take the key out.

The windows and doors don't look like they've been jimmied...

... I know someone was in there because the papers that were in the car were all scattered about and the thingy I had dangling on the rear-view mirror had been pulled off (and wasn't in the car)...

Answers
1)   Ahhh it was not locked. Casper was at the drive in that night with clara - Terry L

2)   Yes it is, If the Golf has wing windows they can be jimmied and the slide opened. But the Golf is a newer car and doesn't have the old style wing windows, next way in is with a slide jimmie, the kind that the key man uses.
Now here is the deal breaker, were you out having some drinks or what ever and when you got into the car you seemed to think that things were amiss,as though someone had gained entry ?
Ether way double check your push button key-less system, listen for the beep. - DR DEAL

3)   rocks always work - Bob A. Booey

4)   I have a Golf IV as well and sometimes it can be picky about whether it wants to lock itself or not. If the hood, trunk/hatch, any door is not shut all the way, the car will not arm itself. Sometimes the cure for this is to just open and close all the doors again. Probably happened to me about 2 or 3 times in the 5 years I've owned my car. I think people just chalk it up to VW electrical... - edizzle

Question 4
$5,000, 2001 Volswagen Jetta 131,000 miles. Should I buy it?...  I want to buy a car for school, and its about 20 miles to school everyday. The car is manual. I just drove it today, and everything seems good. Then again I'm not a mechanic. The only thing that bothers me is the mileage (131,000) but its in my price range. I looked up some reviews, and they say its pretty much hit or miss. So please tell me what you think.

Answers
1)   I have a 2008 volks wagen jetta, it's an awesome car, volks wagen in general is a very good brand, but 131,000 mils is too much, I'm not a mechanic myself but , I might buy it for this price,
you didn't say how good or bad is the paint, rims... stuff like this
good luck - Mahmoud

2)   I bought this one: http://www.techawave.com/techawave/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=542349 - Drew

3)   That car is worth about $3500-$4000,for $5000 you can get 01-03 for about 100k or under.Look further (my opinion).

Good luck. - JOHNNY C
