A bunch of VW owners would like to have a word with you…

If my mk6 Jetta caught fire I wouldn’t be too upset. I did love my old tdi though

My dad's VW Polo is from 2007 and its still going strong. Only issue was a stone through the windscreen and the suspension going but other than that, smooth sailing. He runs that thing hard too. Also, old VW Golfs are upcoming classics... might want to look after yours if you've got one

Yeah, I was hit head on in my golf sportwagen and totaled the car, but I broke my toe and had a bruise on my knee and that was it.

I bought another one with the insurance payout (it was nearly brand new at the time, bought it as a lease return with ~1k miles)
