They are great buyers. They know what to do. VW are great cars, even though they're not luxurious like the BMW and Audi, they can be more convenient and good to have too. VE can do what are the other vehicles can do, it just needs more maintenance in order for you to use it with great performance.

Thanks Thorsten – before we moved here a friend in the States suggested we check out the Ford Focus and said it was radically different than the one offered there. This would explain it!

Well actually, Ford Europe, which produces these cars in Germany has almost nothing to do with Ford in the US. Ford US owns Ford Europe and that pretty much it.
the cars are totally diffrent.
Also worth mentioning is probably that GM owns Opel (Vauxhall in Britain)
