Where was your Mk5 made:

[madison_gti]

All MkV GTI's and Rabbits are made in Wolfsburg, Germany. The MkV Jetta and the MkV GLI are made in Mexico, and the EOS is made in Portugal. As for the Passat, I'll have to double check that, I don't k now off the top of my head but I'm almost certain it's Germany.

German made over here!

one of the selling points of all 3 dealerships that i shopped before making the purchase was that all GTIs are going to be made in wolfsburg. i know you can never trust a sales guy, but low and behold my sticker says wolfsburg. i don't think that my transmission was made in japan though; maybe that is just a DSG thing. (i've got the 6MT).

Made in Mexico scares me almost as much as made in CHINA....

Hello!

There are two other possibilities where the Golf can be produced in Europe:
- Mosel/Germany
- Brussels/Belgium

you forgot Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

G'damn it... My GLI was made in Mexico... Well hopefully the Mexican cars are better now, I know my friend had a Nissan Sentra Spec-V that he bought new, by 20,000 miles of pussy foot driving it was burning oil already. Hopefully VW Quality control is more stringent.

At least my DSG was built in Germany :thumbsup:

VWs built in Mexico are of poor quality. No TDIs were ever made in Mexico I believe. The rest of VW that WERE made there, drivers reported mechanical faults as well as those simple ones like window won't close or clunky (loose) interior.

my 2003 spec v's engine blew at 68,000ish mi, nissan didn't replace it because it wasn't recalled yet (summer of '05). sure enough a few months ago, a recall notice came in the mail explaining just that. :thumbdown:
