I had a Volkswagen Scirocco. That car looks nice and had a reasonable price range.

But that car was the stuff of nightmares. Just google "scirocco dsg gearbox problems". I simply cannot imagine why a huge car manufacturer could produce such a faulty car.

Apparently, scirocco is not the only model to be affected by this.

Or Google "subaru head gasket issues", or "tesla drive unit failure".

I don't think there's a manufacturer that can avoid having runs of faulty lines.

Sadly, American Car companies create lots of faulty cars as well. Not sure why.

Because cars are hard to make?

It might be a good idea to start hoarding Toyotas, if you are so inclined, before the tariff erases the savings on maintenance and repair.

Toyota makes an immense number of vehicles in the US, with American labor. They'll easily dodge most of the effect of any tariffs.
