Conversely, I've had three German cars (one VW and two BMWs) and they all sucked. On the last BMW I had to replace all four window regulators, at $900 each.
Manufacturing is hard.
Sometimes, we'd "luck out" and the window had just slipped out of the holder. Just as often, we needed parts that were available only from Volkswagen.
In general, the car required somewhere between $1000-$2000 worth of maintenance every year. I've owned ten vehicles over the years and none have come close to the VW in terms of total cost of ownership. She replaced it with a new (non-VW) SUV a few years ago and it hasn't needed anything but oil changes yet.
Edit: and fwiw I’ve been seeing a diesel Corolla on craigslist around Seattle but they want like 12k for it - maybe that thing should get put in a museum
