16,000 BEST DAY OF MY LIFE I GET A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA S!!

This was a 2005 VW Passat GLS with 11,750 miles VW certified... The nightmare begins. I paid 18K for it and the window switch broke, rear passenger window hit the track, trans shifted hard when braking, turn lights did not match, speedometer jumped around, trip computer would be reset with cruse on and not match actual car speed, suspension would squeaks over bumps BAD, sunroof molding got caught on roof while opening, rims got spotted and lost paint, side marker turn lights on mirror took in water, and so on and so on. I took great care of this car and was not a fool as to how to take care of and keep up with car care. But no matter what the car was just garbage. I called a lemon law legal representative and had said that it’s more common with VW, seeing as to how I could not believe all this was going wrong. I would NEVER tell anyone to buy a VW I mean just look at the reports. VW has the WORST customer service in the auto industry and do your math and you will see you’re better off with a real German car like Mercedes or BMW. Don’t inconvenience yourself with an Audi there just as bad if not worse. I now own a 2007 Toyota corolla S and even without leather heated seats and monsoon audio, I could care less knowing that this car run and drives great!
