    I own a Skoda (basically a VW golf engine and gearbox) which needed some gearbox warranty work. Response was first class, I really think it depends a lot on the dealer. Although friends experience with Kia Australia was diabolical and nothing to do with the dealer.

      My mate had exhaust and ECU remap done on his Pajero and he finally admitted last week to me that knowing now what he does and all the issues he has had he wishes he never did it.

      Each to their own but i have to admit if you want the grunt and speed of an SS Commodore then buy that and if you want to tow more then buy a Cruiser or bigger powered vehicle.

      Just an opinion.
      Correct, Toyota for beach camping holidays and the LS3 for 304kw shopping centre runs.

        Yes driven the old and new Amarok.
        Awesome bit of kit.
        The older Amarok had a couple warranty issues. All handling and rectification was first class. Dare I say put Toyota to shame.

          I think warranty support for any brand is very dependent on your dealer and relationship. I know of a few different cases with VW that mean I wouldn't go anywhere near them. Two engine issues in an Amorok. One outside time warranty but well inside km and the other inside warranty and a battle. The last a new R with significant electrical problems pretty much parked up waiting for something from VW EU because the AU office wouldn't change out an ECU (which fixed the problem). I also see arguments with Toyota and Holden while I have had a pretty good run.

          The V6 should be a superb motor but wow it is expensive.

            Pretty much sums it up. If the problem is not something they admit to knowing about, or requires anything more than exchanging a part they already have on the shelf, then VW Oz will retreat into the bunker at HQ and ignore you until you either figure it out for yourself, die, or just go away. A good mate has been a VW zealot for years (three brand new); he tells me his Tiguan diesel will be his last 'Dub. He loves the car, just can't deal with the (lack of) brand support at any and all levels.

              A few Toyota glitches come to mind, cracked guards and failed injectors at the top of the list. To their credit I have had excellent warranty support on a number of major problems from Toyota and VW, and have only ever had one problem knocked back. I think the approach that you take also plays a major factor in the response that you get

              Also the problem is that today's cars are incredibly complex and with the complexity comes a million and one things that can go wrong.
