Old VW good. New VW bad.
Build quality seem to have taken a nosedive in recent years. A few months back, I was driving a fresh from the forecourt Golf GTI and the gear stick head (and attached leather bag & surround) all came off in my hand while putting it into reverse! The whole dash/seats felt quite cheap and fragile too. Not the same "built to last" feel of their cars from 10, or even 5 years back.

golfs and jettas up to mk4 = unbeatable. i definately dislike their newer models - the mk5 golf is ugly. and they seem a lot less durable now, and have the feel of wussy city cars instead of rough all-purpose go-everywhere things like the mk2 golfs and polos.
new polos are shit too.

I have a VW 1200 (still with the flat windscreen) painted in two colours which supposedly makes it look like a mafia vehicle. It doesn't because nobody ion my family thought that 100+€ was a reasonable price for tyres with white rings.
Any buyers?

‘So you see another group, like Tangerine Dream, although they are German they have an English name, so they create onstage an Anglo–American identity, which we completely deny. We want the whole world to know that we are from Germany, because the German mentality — which is more advanced — will always be part of our behavior. We create out of the German language, the mother language, which is very mechanical; we use it as the basic structure of our music.’
— Ralf Hütter[7]
you see, Germans are more advanced. Therefore their cars must be too.
