Well, being in the USA, my only choice in that group is the VW.

My family's leasing a VW Jetta, which I understand is pretty much only in the North American market (not even in Germany). It's a nice car, but the problem is that while it wasn't particularly expensive, the replacement parts are murderously pricey.

If I lived somewhere where Opel and Vauxhall were available, I'd probably get one of them, simply because they have smaller cars with available diesel engines.

Both are good cars IMHO, but VW has the edge, most people I know would go VW over pretty much any other car, but then parts are not an issue here.

VW here.

Perfect runners, last a long time without needing much repairs with high mileage strong running engines. Some like a Bora are not as good quality and design as a Golf, Passat, Touareg (etc), expensive parts too (well it depends where you are and budget but I was a trader).

>1999 and newer Vauxhall Astra's are also pretty good for casual running, cheap repairs and overall parts. Not a match for a VW built design but still not bad at all.

Wow, Opel. I haven't seen one of those since the seventies. I had a buddy that had an Opel Manta. He also had a GT.
