Hoovie is taking notes. You’d best believe he’s going to buy all the “do not buys”.

Took a chance and bought a 2020 Golf about a year ago. Wasn’t crazy about it at first; it was smaller than anything I’d ever had before. One year later and I absolutely love the thing. I’ll be driving it till the wheels fall off

2015 golf TDI owner here, in my experience the 15s are great and mine has been solid, doesn’t burn oil, gets 60mpg highway at slower speeds, and is fun to drive and handles great - some of my friends have gotten their 2015 TDIs to 300k miles already with no adblue issues nor any clogged DPFs !

vw is nice because a lot luxury things from their other high end brands bleed down into the vw cars

Hoovie: I bought the cheapest W12 Phaeton.

I almost fell off my chair when he mention the Phaeton. One of the 1st to actually recommend this car. I own a 04 and love it

Mate you are spot one on everything. Such a breath of fresh air to see such videos with a pragmatic, factual opinion. You have gained a sub in me. Love

I had a CC and loved it. The Alltrack is hard to beat for traction, interior space, and fun. I love how everything maintenance related is easily accessible. My grandpa had a TDI Jetta around for over 20 years and it survived his lack of general maintenance. Its sad to hear about the new deisel problems

This video made Scotty Kilmer half mad.

German Pro-Tip:
Can't go wrong with a 1.9 TDI Pumpe-Düse, but stay the hell away from the TSI-Engines.

My 2007 gas Passat wolfsberg was honestly great. Really nice leather seats, very spacious, and would get up to like 32-33 mpg on the highway and like 24-25 city. Had no issues almost ever, got in an accident and it is solid. The turbo was sufficiently fun as well

What a super sensible and knowlegeable man you are. Truly this was the most informative video I`ve ever watched on VWs. Very very good. It has changed my buying direction. Very many thanks. Dave

The 1.9 TDI is the best one. Unbreakable.
The ones you wanna stay away from is the 2.0 TDI from 2005. Turbo and flywheel will go out (100%). Just a matter of time.

The 24v VR6 is bulletproof as well. I've had my 2003 GTI VR6 for almost 19 years now, as my daily driver, and the only mechanical issue I had was the cooling fan dying after 80, 000 miles. That's it! I still have the original timing chain too. The 24v VR6 was an improvement over the original 12v VR6, in that the timing chain lasts longer because of the improved, longer lasting chain guides.

Those old 1.9 TDIs would still be running long after a dystopian nuclear apocalypse. I miss mine so much 🙁

My brother has a 2007 GTI with 2.0 FSI engine. Amazing car. It has 170, 000 miles on it, just did a compression test recently and the car is still going very strong. It’s a lot of fun to drive, handles great

I got a 2013 3.6L VR6 Touareg. I've had to do the usual mainteneance and it's been quite reliable. It's also very strong and solid SUV.

I had a 2011 Sportwagen TDI from new. You are spot on. I knew nothing about a DPF and learned that I was looking at a $3-4000 repair to change it. (Engine needs to come out) Fortunately for me, the diesel scandal hit, and they bought the car back.
