Only problem with the VW's is the cost of repairs. Same sis-in-law that now has the Outback had a Jetta before that. Loved the car, but when she went for brakes she was handed a $900 repair bill. Guy at work had a Toureg... needed a sensor replaced...turns out it was above the muffler and tranny... $2400 for the labor to replace it. (The part itself was $14)

Same thing with the Volvos. I love them mechanically...solid, well built...but like all vehicles, they require regular maintenance to keep them running right...and wait till you get that repair bill...speaking from experience..trust me.
