Consumer Reports FTW! I like VWs but their quality has really dropped in the last several years. a real shame that.

I'd rock a R32 if it had the fuel economy of a small VW (and better yet, a diesel)... Otherwise, you are paying alot of money for an oddity (really, they don't ship that many) with little to no advantage over an STi.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, since VW owns Audi, the VW all-wheel drive system is either related to or exactly the same as Audi's Quattro system. If that's the case, then it's an excellent performance-based system. Unfortunately it's expensive and can make repair / maintenance costs high.

As for reliability, I can't say. Sorry. :(
