Well, we can't all have Volkswagen do our emissions testing. :)

Why would you say "crazy inefficient"? I don't think that, say, a VW 1.8L is, practically speaking, any more or less efficient than a Ford or Toyota 1.8L. A Ford Focus gets comparable gas mileage to, say, a Golf or a Mazda3.

The Golf has a better interior, but will also fall apart much sooner -- VW in the US has a shockingly bad reputation for reliability and customer service. Which sucks, because I really prefer VW's design language to pretty much any other brand.
