Ben:
I have owned numerous water-cooled VW's (I currently own a 2008 GTi) and I have NEVER had issues with them. Several have been driven over 100,000 miles.
I appreciate Honda and Toyota for what they are, but if you want to own a reasonably priced sedan or hatch that actually handles and feels sporty, VW has the Japanese cars covered IMO. Moreover, the interiors in the VW's are almost Audi like these days. They absolutely are a step above the Japanese competition.
Finally, the 2.0 FSi motors can easily return 30 mpg yet one has the torque and hp of a much larger V6 or even V8.
Good luck with your VW Ben.
Mike
