I had a used 2016 VW Golf and it was a lemon. It would have an average of one serious problem a month. I finally gave up being a professional car maintainer and dumped it, taking a huge loss because it was effectively worthless on the car market despite only being 8 years old. Fun car to drive, but what's the point if it doesn't work reliably? I completely lost my trust for VW vehicles after that.

Not surprising to me at all that their software is a similar high quality experience, but in general I think it's weird that cars have to be connected to the Internet anyways and I doubt the competition is substantially better.

Only one major problem per month sounds like you got one of the good ones.

I've had VWs where the center console catches on fire whenever you turn on an indicator. (The obvious answer was to stick on some BMW badges so no one expects me to use indicators.)
