I've had the same Golf since I bought it new in 2014. I like my Golf, so it should be an easy sale for VW to sell me a replacement.

However, VW just seem to make gaff after gaff. Collecting information they shouldn't, exposing information they shouldn't have to hackers via lax security practices.

How many rakes can a company step on?

Now, they're blocking GapheneOS? They've got two hopes of selling me another 'Dub.

They appear to have no clue about what customers want. We’ve had VWs in the family for as long as I can remember. After I sold my Polo, a car I truly liked, that was the last of it.

Nobody wanted the crazy touch dashboards, data collection, emissions nonsense, etc.

Just make the damn car you’ve always made. Be reliable.

I've had a Golf from new since 2016. I love it. It's the only car I bought new (only car I've ever bought actually), and wanted one since renting cars when I lived in the UK (had no need to own a car (cycle/public transport), so only rented as needed). I recently started looking for at EVs just to be prepared in a few years and know where things are at, and I honestly doubt I would get an VW car now. Unfortunately, I'm not expecting there to be anything much better, with most companies locking things down more and more, adding more tracking, etc.. Perhaps it'll just be better to buy a several year old EV.
