How reliable is a Volkswagen?

Is Volkswagen a reliable car brand? My daughter is obsessed with them for some reason and she really wants to get one for her first car. I’m a little more cautious and want to make sure that it will last her for a while before jumping in and buying one.

In general,
Volkswagen
is pretty average in terms of reliability when compared to other car brands on the market. While the actual reliability of the Volkswagen you buy will largely depend on the make, model, and year of the car, you can typically expect a decent reliability rating from Volkswagen cars.
Some of the most reliable Volkswagens on the market right now include:
  • The Volkswagen Golf
  • The Volkswagen Tiguan
  • The Polo Vivo
Since VW Beetles are really popular, it’s possible that your daughter is excited about that particular model. If so, she’s in luck! Volkswagen Beetles have a good reliability rating as well.
