Guys, I need an honest answer from you VW owners. Are VWs more expensive to fix? Is it more difficult to DIY?
Thinking about buying a jetta.

Thanks! Mine is just stock for now, 1.5L gasser. It's slowww, would like to do a motor swap but have mixed feelings on removing original motor from car since its in such nice condition and only 56,000 miles.
I've seen that video, it's awesome.

possible new vr6
Volkswagen is pushing ahead with development of a new narrow-angle V6 direct-injection gas engine, sources from the German carmaker's engineering headquarters based in Braunschweig reveal.
Engineering for the new engine is being overseen by Volkswagen's new head of engine development, Fritz Eichler -- who in a previous position led the development of the current generation of Mercedes-Benz AMG powerplants -- continues with a swept volume of 3.0-liters and an unfashionable 15-degree cylinder bank angle. It has been conceived for transverse mounting.
But unlike the earlier naturally aspirated VR6, the new engine has been designed to run forced induction, with Volkswagen insiders hinting at a twin-turbocharged setup, as previewed on the engine used by Volkswagen's flamboyant Design Vision GTI shown at the Woerthersee fan meet in Austria in May 2013. The transversely mounted twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine used in the Design Vision GTI was claimed to boast a narrow angle design and develop 496 bhp along with 413 lb-ft of torque between 4000 and 6000 rpm.
Development versions of the new engine are described as being less heavily tuned with a specific output on par with the various incarnations of Volkswagen's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which suggests a power output between 340 hp and 450 hp. By comparison, the most powerful version of the original VR6, a 3.6-liter evolution used in the Passat R36, produced 295 hp.
The new VR6 is set to be used in a number of new Volkswagen models in selected markets, including replacements for the Passat, Passat CC, a production version of the CrossBlue concept, and possibly a successor to Scirocco as well as a number of Volkswagen commercial vehicles.

That sounds like some really exciting news from VW. But as exciting as it sounds, I've vowed that my next new car would have some form of alternative or hybrid propulsion. That includes diesels and/or hybrids which I've been waiting for years for VW to ship more of to the states.
For now, they seem to be limited solely to the Jetta and only in one underpowered variant. If things go as planned, I will be in the market for a new car right about this time next year. I'd love to make that a diesel Tiguan as my daily driver.
As for the VR6, what say we mate one of those with an electric motor counterpart and put it in the new Phaeton slated to arrive in the U.S. for 2015. Entering in at something around 500 hp would truly be impressive. No need for a W12, although it could stay around to power the Bentley.🎥
