One of the great things about owning a VW has always
been the "option" of being able to fix it yourself.
How many other brands of vehicles out there allow you
to single-handedly drop an engine and rebuild it so
easily? I like having the choice of being able to
work on my own vehicle.
My last car was a 1986 Toyota van and it went well over
200K without having to do anything major to it. They are
beautiful cars indeed and I wish I had had the knowledge
to have kept it. But try pulling an engine out of a car with
an engine in the middle...
