Replying to: jeffyscott (Aug 23, 2008 7:41 am) I don't. I have had three VWs albeit it was quite some time ago but I liked each one....did have a few issues but nothing totally out of the ordinary. If you look on whole scheme of things, the average person who is pretty satisfied with a car might state so once and you never hear from them again. The person that takes everything personally and gets a lemon will go on and on and on and on like the energizer bunny. They could have had a bad experience 10 or 20 years ago and still be bad mouthing the brand. Some people have only owned two or three cars in their life but they are experts because they read a lot of car magazine reviews. Like I said before, if VW was that bad then they have one hell of a lot of first time buyers out there worldwide. I've come to realize that everything you read or hear has to be weighed carefully as to legitimacy....especially magazine road tests. |

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 23, 2008 6:37 am)  Just an FYI: my comments regarding the Camry were just made to illustrate the difference in a car whose high-point is its engine, versus the Jetta, whose wasn't in 2007.

Replying to: thegraduate (Aug 23, 2008 8:14 am) Don't you feel special what everyone wants to rip apart your posts?

Replying to: jeffyscott (Aug 23, 2008 7:32 am) FWIW, every professional review I've read of the Optima vs. Camry, including C/D and MT, said that the Optima handles better than the Camry. That has been my impression also. |

Replying to: elroy5 (Aug 23, 2008 8:13 am) Have you driven or even looked closely at the current Optima?

Replying to: elroy5 (Aug 23, 2008 8:28 am) Right and that is fine. I just wanted to be clear that I was not saying that the Optima is as good, overall, as a Camry, rather I was only saying that the handling is probably as bad as one (to me). I have no opinion on an overall comparison of the two models as neither has any appeal to me. |
