Ok, fine. Friend with a 98 Jetta. Hated it because of high maintenance. Another friend with a 2001 A6, the car is falling apart at a bit over 100k. He has done all regular maintenance. Another friend, this time with a 04 Phaeton. He loves the car, but he says it's a 'nightmare' (his words) in terms of maintenance. Very expensive, very frequent. Think transmission replacement @ 10k kms. Let's see, cousin used to drive a 2006 VW Gol (not Golf, Gol). Had a plethora of problems, switched for a Fiat.
Heck, I toyed with the idea of getting an RS6. I read through the owner forums, and everyone said the same thing (be prepared for high maintenance costs). OP is asking about a reliable car to be used as a daily driver. I'm sorry, VWs don't fit the bill on the 'reliable' part.
Edit: Has he considered a Ford Fusion? I've heard very very good opinions of that car.
