no the transmissions are built like 3 miles from my house.

 

i've never worked for Deere. Applied MANY times. but i used to work at Honda as the following: mechanic, and general engine builder. personally i like engine building than general mechanic when i was there. however when i was a mechanic i was over at Marysville and when i was a engine i was at ANNA(REPRESENT).

 

I have a 2006 Accord V6!

 

Shit, no wonder Honda V6 transmissions are so shitty...Water-S must've built them.



But the Jetta should stand up to more abuse from a maintenance standpoint. The engine does require 5w-40 synthetic oil, and also has a large 6L sump, so the recommended 10K intervals have plenty margin of error built into it. The Toyota AW 6-speed Auto should be pretty reliable as well, and is a "fill-for-life" unit; unlike the Honda 5-spd Autos, the Toyota AW units have been quite reliable in the recent years.

But I do consider the Jetta to be a better buy, at least in my book. I've been looking at a Jetta VP, Malibu Maxx, Camry, or Civic for myself recently...

 

Malibu Maxx = meh
Drove one as a loaner.

LOL @ the Ohio cow joke

 

Honda Civic all the way. Easier to maintain, more reliable...and just simply a better buy. The VW Jetta is over-priced.

 

Civic looks better too ... like a robot, eh?

 

i would take a rabbit over jetta anytime anyday.
