Having owned 1 BMW and 5 VWs my views are the exact opposite - the BMW was by far the most expensive (and fastest) car I have ever owned but although it was new it had a lot of mechanical problems and really wasn't that comfortable.
All of the VW group cars I have had have been great - haven't had a single problem with them.
