To the below I'd say I strongly disagree.  I test drove some of the Mexican made
Golfs/Jettas a few years ago as well as had friends who owned same and they were
problematic and felt poorly assembled though they were "German Engineered" as VW
loves to remind everyone.  Perhaps VW has sorted out its well know Puebla quality
problems, but when I bought a new car in '96 I bought the Passat which is made in
Germany rather than taking a chance with my hard earned beans and hoping that VW
has brought its Mexican assembly plant up to snuff.
