I had a 2007 GTI, and it is tied for 1st place for my favorite car I have ever owned. That said, what I've picked up from the interwebs is that VW is not longer making quality vehicles, for a number of reasons. Would love some opinions!

I have a 2018 Seat Leon Cupra ST 300, so basically a cheaper Golf VII R estate.

Previously I had an Audi S4 b6.

These newer cars are probably both great cars, but they are clearly not the same despite sharing a lot of parts.

The Golf is fake 4 wheel drive (a front wheel drive car most of the time) while the S4 isn’t.

You also clearly don’t need the same budget to keep them running as the Audi is gonna be way more expensive to run while being a bit more grown up in its attitude too.

Quality wise, I have nothing to complain about my Cupra after around 60000 kilometers.
