      @@marcokrueger3399 Yeah I do think so too. I personally think that Volkwagens is a polarising company especially here in Germany. You either see a lot of tuners loving their VW or you have the ones that hate them because of the amount of similar locking vehicles.
      And I think you also either hate or like VWs if you're looking for specific qualities in a car:
      Their interior design ages veeery well I totally agree. Quality itself can be good or bad depending on the model and year. Golf mk4- mk5 times and softtouchplastic early to mid-late 2000's was a phase that is stuck in everyones head here. But then I saw GM vehicles of that time and knew why GM is such an unpopular brand over here (I'm talking specifically about Chevy, Cadillac and GMC.
      Their gas engines are either reliable or questionable.. if you got a timing belt you're most likely safe, if you have a timing chain then you will experience problems.. with diesels it's always the same go for a 2.0 TDI if you can and you're a happy man, go for a 3.0 TDI and you have a powerful, awesome engine as long as you don't have a timing chain problem early models suffer specifically. So change the oil regularly and pray because if one of these goes bad that's an expensive job.
      Overall fit and finish is good if you're looking at european designed cars Touareg, Tiguan, Golf, older Jettas, Phaeton. But U.S. models like a Passat (NMS) or Atlas do feel a little cheaper in every term.

      @marcokrueger3399 Год назад +5

      @@chriskonte1909 You summed that up pretty well!
      There will always be fans and always be haters. Most of the not-fans will say VW is boring, etc. and prefer japanese vehicles for expample which often times (e.g. Toyota Yaris or Prius) are ugly af in my opinion. Another argument I have to read is that VWs are soooo unreliable because the workshops are full of them. I mean, no surprise if your market share is above 35% (with all the sub brands). Of course if you have some issues, they're gonna be huge in scale.
      My MK5 Golf had the soft touch issues, but only on parts that can easily and rather cheaply be replaced. Doorhandles, lightswitch, radio (wanted to change that anyway) and the switches for the window lift. All in all would be less than 200€ (apart from the radio which I bought off of ebay for 50€), so that's a rather cheap fix. We have another 2009 model which doesn't have any of these issues.
      Imo, the MK4 did look old pretty fast but the MK5 interior can hold up pretty well even compared to modern cars.
      The timing chains are a real issue (sometimes it's just the chain tensioner), our second car had that at about 160-170.000 km. We got it fixed as soon as it made trouble, but apart from that it's a really solid vehicle, no major issues. I think often times it really comes down to how people treat their car: A neglected vehicle won't last as long, but owners will always be complaining. Expectations are just soo much higher nowadays.
      VW also had times with real quality issues. Early 90s, start of the golf MK3, Mr. Lopez tried to cut costs and ruined build quality. Same, but not as much with Herbert Diess who was manager until last year. New management has announced they will improve build quality. Martin Winterkorn was the real master of that.
      I think one real strength of VW is safety, like with the suspension design. They don't build boring cars, but they're really safe for everyone to drive, always a little understeer. That's just the best design for mass production vehicles imo.
      (Also, if you haven't guessed it already, I'm German, too. Grüße! ;) )

    Have always found VW interiors to be much less dated over the years due to their clean and “simple” as you claim to look. Which is why this relatively older car looks so fresh even now. Touaregs were amazing though admittedly over engineered and costly due to their level of refinement and high quality.

    I've always had a fascination with diesel VWs and recently got a MK7 TDI Golf, which has been nothing short of fantastic. I love how it drives, looks, and the interior is nice and comfy. It's my first diesel so that's been interesting but the torque is plenty and comparable to a stock GTI I believe. Loses steam past 3k unlike a GTI but that's just how it is lol. Hoping this car lasts me like 10 years plus, depending on how the emissions equipment stuff is out of warranty.
    Also, my MK7 has those dreaded carpeted fender liners in the rear lol. Not in the front though, which is interesting. Definitely been cleaning it often though in this midwest salt.

He has detailed a relatively new Mercedes recently and talked about some stuff you have pay for after you bought the car. He probably means the new assistance system connected to an app on the phone, but I'm not sure, I don't have a Mercedes. Volvo has the assistance for free in the first 2 years and after that it's like 80 CHF/year. (Grüsse aus Kanton St.Gallen) are you coming from Hungary, living in Switzerland?

    A little fun fact about the Touareg (For the U.S. at least). It was discontinued in 2017 because people couldn't believe how much they were. They were basically a slightly bigger version of the Atlas but costed an average of $10k-$15k more than a fully loaded Atlas. They are still produced and sold in European countries like Germany. Anyways, that was an awesome transformation as always Mitch! Those black wheels look awesome on a pearl white 😎

    • @marcokrueger3399
      @marcokrueger3399 Год назад +2

      Just to add: We never had the Atlas over here in Europe. For us it was always the Touareg (the big one) or the Tiguan (that's based on the platform of the VW Golf).
      Fun fact: The VW Jetta isn't nearly as popular in Europe than it is in the US. I think there even was a model that was based on an older platform, they just added the design of the Golf MK5 and bigger engines to meet the needs of the Northern American market. The only model that's completely similar in this regard is the VW Jetta Sportswagon, known in Europe as VW Golf Variant.

    Awesome video! I love watching how much care you put into cleaning up cars in your videos. I now own a 2013 VW Passat, and one reason I loved it is that the interior is very simple and flat. Before that, my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix's dash was the opposite with a lot going on in the design, or as a car magazine said once "cheap overdone plastic interior". LOL! I didn't mind paying as much as I did for my Passat because I still love it. I just need to wash it. :)

    The latte looking water just pouring out of those wheel wells was truly something. I really like the new format where you talk to us directly in real time. The amount of muck the undercarriage power washer found was a lot. SO the owner left the box from the newly purchased telescope in the car? How odd is that? And the hundred or more masks. WOW, this was one busy car. Still with the snow there so abundant. Glad to see you in the heated nice new studio. BTW, my friends put the exact same polyaspartic flooring with the chips in their updated garage. They were 'floored' when I told them I knew what it was, as my DG buddy has the same thing.
