    I hope so, my brother is a massive fan of Audi, a VW group brand. Looking forward to him handing down his TDV6 Q5 shortly... because I like to roll coal!

    My brother in law has a Q7 and a mate has (had until a few weeks ago a Golf) both since new. In have a mate in Germany with a new VW Van largely built where he lives (all oil burners)... Never for me. I know too much about the ownership 'experience'.

    Cheers

    my experience with the vw dealers up here was atrocious and i was glad when the vehicle was out of warranty.

    couldn't fault the vehicle, was an amazing bit of kit but the dealers were well below par...

    son in law just got a top of the range amorak from mob in toowoomba

    he had issues he wasnt happy with after 2 weeks of ownership and i was stunned the way the dealership up there went out of their way to appease him. he is now a very happy puppy and he loves the thing. he is well aware of what happens when they go bad but is optimistic

    seems experiences vary greatly...

    One thing LR were always good at was dealer warranty. Nothing was too much trouble generally. Cheers

    Ps with LR it's not because they had more experience than VW at warranty on major items at least.

    We have never had that experience, never had dramas with the dealers, i guess it depends who you deal with.
    Still the best brand cars we have owned
