Judging from reviews, people are avoiding VW now because of really shitty infotainment systems...

It's a thing Chinese manufacturers are focussing on to distract from the rest of their engineering.

For me it was this and their build quality, I got the impression they aren't cars you keep for 10+ years

Have you tried observing the service intervals.

[–] Two2Tango@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I drive a Honda it just keeps going

Yes. Different engineering approach. Performance, efficiency, no mandatory service intervals, choose two.
