Our B5 Passat (as new) had a superior features/interior quality/fit and finish than my Toyota Corolla but guess which one spent the most time at the dealer not for regular servicing ???.

2 x coil packs, Tie end rods, Vacuum pipe to the intake manifold, A/C heat exchanger.

This was all before 60,000 km.

They are showroom queens. I loved sitting in the stitched suede seats of the RS7 and making vroom sounds while my wallet was getting shredded in service.

This has been my experience with late 2000's BMWs too. Man they look gorgeous. You can pick one up for under 10 grand now... There's a reason why.
