Hi;
I read the same thing but cannot remember exactly what the article was in.
I had many-many Beetles and so did my two brothers back then. Infact I was considering the Purchase of a new Beetle TDI with the DSG Trans. I backed off once I got to be a Member of that Forum and soon learned that VW's have No-Reliability Period and the Dealers are a Real Joke. Sad but true.
Civic hybrids, I have had one already and now waiting for the 2006 HCH II to get to the dealer as we speak.
Go Honda
