De nada

@@CruisinComPTon Germany is next level.

@jorge alberto in Mexico I see Golf 7's with flying wind deflectors all the time. That problem never existed in Wolfsburg. It is one thing for a German to assemble something and another for a Mexican. Double standards exist.

@jorge alberto America is better than Mexico

Their people and their cars come here. I don’t mind either

AudiA4B6 Manual I will take a Mexican built VW over an American built one like the Passat any day

Go on strike.

THEY TOOK MY JOB!!!!!!

hahaha everyone takes everyones job... then it's going to be robots.... the only solution to every countries problems is to decrease the population

Rob P THEY TOOK ERRR JUUURRRRB

Yes, I love how my 2015 Sportwagen drives. So glad I didn't go for boring Japanese. Great ergonomics and engineering. I'm really happy with the 170 hp. Really don't need more. :)

You can trust them. They love Volkswagens. The last classic Beetle was built in Mexico in 2003.

My 2017 is solid as well.

I love mine too

Have had Zero issues with my German parts Mexico built MK7 GTI Autobahn

Or the attitude of the engineers - Merc had already built it's reputation so no need to try hard anymore

@@joebloggs7177 Actually the issue is in Mercedes politics, Mercedes and VW had for a long term now socialistic presidents - Mercedes is doing too much with China and focusing too much on quick sales instead of long reputation i think BMW is doing better in this case and VW is just too much into greenist politics BUUUUT this is changing right now, the new chief I HOPE he stops this greenist bs he comes from Porsche and as we know Porsche offers all 3 kinds fuel > future going into E-Fuels + Hybrid + EV and they do great compared to VW and Audi... the truckbrands i would say arent bad too but VW and Audi are big brands doing sht with those socialistic policits from the EU and the last boss

Yep and the same applies to all the god awful mistakes by BMW engineers who fail to design proper parts. Good engineering coupled with properly spec'd parts = reliability. Reliability is A # 1 the first concern of all auto purchasers.

So true bro. I was going to mention BMW just now but Dave Hill beat me to it. I've owned 3 Mexican built VWs and I've had very minor and minimal problems with them. I've owned/had in my family 6 German built BMWs that were totally plagued with problems that were obviously from poor design, bad engineering, subpar materials used, etc. It's disappointing to me because I love BMWs so much. Now I just lease them instead of holding onto them for long term. My problem is that I get every attached to cars lol, I still own my 2001 Jetta that I've owned since 2001!

Everything is designed to break now, companies make more money and sell more b/c of this

Most of these issues are deliberately engineered into the cars in order to A. generate revenue for the service department; and B. make you want a new one after 3 to 5 years. This is common to all German cars made after 1995. The French and Japanese took another 10 years to go down the same route, but in the past couple of years they've been forced to reconsider by the Koreans who don't seem to mind giving unusually long warranty and making sure their cars are in overall good shape reliability-wise. Maybe ze Germanz will have a think on that one too.

+BroccoliQueefed The Apple of cars... just after Tesla that is!

Detonation Agreed.

My mk7 is also from Mexico. And I love this car

if the VIN starts with a 3VW its from Mexico if it stats WVW itfs from Germany

Rob M it also says made in Mexico all over the car.

my 03 9N polo had a WVW vin, but it was a Spanish build.

same except 2.5 5cyl

minus the common vacuum pump oil leak, my 2005.5, 2.5 is running strong at 125,000

Colby Richison sounds like mine is just getting warmed up. i own the current model jetta with the 2.0t, 40,000km's (24000 miles). its a fantastic car, mexican or not, i keep trying to find fault in it but i cant.

Not a single issue with a 10 year old 200K mile VW? Hmmm.. I'm guessing all that "maintenance", where its in and out of the shop, doesn't count eh?

Same here 08 jetta 2.5L close to 110,000 miles without any issues. Great cars!

they don't have the same specs btw, there are many slight differences for what its worth. USA market gets less options

Yep, fancier plants, cheaper maintence, they can keep quality high

​@@azjolol Specs meaning required values for all the different tests that they have to perform on the different systems/assemblies on the production line that tell you if something is built properly.

Alaa Sibai. The VW plant in (Puebla) Mexico has been building cars since the 60s. The production lines are being updated from time to time to avoid falling behind quality. I might think that the assembly lines in Mexico are as worn out as the ones in Germany. So, I think that there is more to it than newer assembly lines; maybe something like pride in what you are making.

On MexicanGolf 7 the sun roof wind deflector flies off. On German version no problem

Lol

The quality thing is more a racist thing that some say because there are stereotypes that Europeans are considered educated an rich whereas Latin Americans unintelligent and lazy

@Noel Medina ..... What you are describing is not racism you libtard..... it's just a bias ya snowflake..

Yeah. Quality really depends on each companies' quality control rather than the location the products are assembled.

gmctech Discrimination, Heuristics, Prejudice, Stereotypes, Racism, and Sexism are all biases so, let’s call it what it is.

@@noelmedina6925 I always assumed the inspectors would be german trained anyways so there wouldn't be deviance from standard tolerance

Right?!

is your vw as durable as toyota

@@jews_out_of_PALESTINE Probably not, but I find most Toyotas ugly and boring. The more boring you make a car, the more durable it generally can be.

@@OliverHoffmannDesign i totally agree

@@OliverHoffmannDesign I agree. I drove Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans for decades until I got tired of the boredom of driving them. I finally got a Jetta back in 2016 and loved it. I now drive a GTI and I'm never going back to Japanese driving appliances no matter how reliable they are. I do have a Honda Odyssey too, but I only drive it to haul crap from Home Depot or when I need to move several bodies at a time and the GTI would be too cramped.

Dave Hill they're building their cars in Mexico not because Mexican worker are the best but because it has cheaper labour next to the biggest car market(USA) and is a Nafta country.

It's not the workers so much as the German QA, that replaced Mexican "QA"...waaaaaaay back in the mid-80's. Remember all the Rabbits and other platforms that came out of the Puebla plant....that rusted out in less than 2 years? And set VW AG back sales-wise? The Germans came to Mexico and kicked out the sub-standard local QA and installed Germans from Germany to do the job. Now, all models that are ASSEMBLED...(NOT Made in Mexico...ASSEMBLED...in Mexico of parts and sub=structures MADE IN GERMANY)...meet the exact same standards that are set in Wolfsburg. Period.

British You Tuber who sells Electric Vehicles found Tesla cars made in China are better than Tesla made in Freemont California. Hope Elon saw that video

+John Cruz yes correct

Some Volkswagens sold in Europe are built in Slovakia, see VW UP

Thank you

Yes, Volkswagen owns Skoda

John Cruz hahaha Americans. You can not trust in their words

Sure? I thought electronics were from poland

e james Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in the 90s.

Why not? You wanna say the state did not exist anymore? Oooh come oon whats next?! No Soviet Union anymore? Look close at some car parts there are sill Soviet Stars on it!!! Sarcasm guys... just sarcasm....he is american, forgive him :D

Yep, it's the Czech republic and Slovakia now, after the USSR fell some of the created satellite countries reverted back to what they were before. Countries in Europe change a lot.

Yeah, but VW does own Skoda so add that and that could be considered "Czechoslovakia" in a way.

It won’t hehe Chattanooga vw Passats known for lil goofs

I have the 2023 gli from Mexico no problems

@ Mike , Well our colors don't bleed ( USA), so its difficult for us to get used to countries that change their names

BroccoliQueefed what about the american civil war in 1861... Plus the fascist left wing are literally trying to start another American civil war right now

BroccoliQueefed your colours don't bleed lol I've never known a more bloody America

Trippy Uk . That one went right over your head. I meant our colors dont run. Our provinces/states havent changed. Name of our country hasnt changed

BroccoliQueefed what about California. They are trying to separate right now

Jeff K This may be more the fault of Nissan's quality control in that plant.. Nissan will setup the assembly plants only using the locals to run the machines to build.. often the native, in this case, Japanese employees will control the plant.. I think country pride for the consumer is getting in the way of the facts..

And they have high quality standards in Mexico too.

@@Jorge01234 possibly the same 🙂

You’re taking out of your ass, you ignorant bastard

Thank you for your insite and honesty . 👍

thanks bro!

David Ha Not all Mexican take pride in there work don't confuse that with hard working and the quality of work they put out.

just like coca cola

Very true!

Im not 100% sure but i think we have Chinese blood

One thing I have noticed is you must have patience to work as a mechanic or trades person of any kind . You must deal with people who don't know how things work and want things perfect .

I agree

Also agree

Just fine, for the cars still built there.

It’s bad! The Democratics took our jobs during the white flight!

It wasn't just the Democrats. Learn history.

Let me tell you that some american cars are made in Mexico and they have good quality, example: Fusion gas and hybrid are made in Sonora, Mexico, Focus are made in Cuautiltan, Mexico, (the transmission are imported from US) all Dodge and Chrysler pick ups are made in Saltillo Mexico. I live in Mexico city and let me tell you that some parts are imported from US and Japan, example the automatic transmission of the focus and the fusion are made in the US and imported to Mexico to assemble those cars and then those cars are exported to US. Same idea with power steering system and electronic modules. Air bags are made by Takata and imported to Mexico to American, German and Oriental Brand cars made here. The engines are made here with mexican components, seat belts, seats, tires, wheels, brakes, radiators, head lamps, grilles, fascias, bumpers, all the Steel components (that is the reason of the new tax for mexican Steel and aluminum imported to the US), Paint, and assembly are Mexican. VW produces in Puebla, Mexico the Jetta since the 2012 and now the new Jetta 2019 is made here too. Same thing with the Golf and other cars that are exported to Europe and not sold in the american continent. Engines and a lot of parts are made in Mexico but almost all the electronic devices are imported from Germany and Austria, next door of the VW plant in Puebla are the new Audi plant that produces the Q5 for all over the world, engines are produced in Irapuato, Guanajuato for all the VAG group automobiles made in Mexico and some Passat made in US, so is incredible the potential of Mexico in the assembly and production of the different components of the cars, made here or outside Mexico as well. In Ensenada Mexico Toyota produces the rear cargo box of all the Tacomas, Honda has a big plant in El Salto, Jalisco where they produce the new Civic and the new CRV with a lot of components made in Mexico, same to Nissan, they had about 3 plants in some cities in Mexico that produces the Versa, the Sentra and the NP300 pick ups and they export the NP300 to south and central america, sentras and versas to the US and Canadian market. Because of all this and more situations of producers in Mexico (TV, home appliances, carpets, etc.) is that Mr. Trump is trying to cancel the Nafta and make the american people produce more in the US.

Yup. My Fiesta ST was made in Cuautitlan, and the engine and transmission were made in Wales. The build quality is good, especially for such an inexpensive car.

Like BMW after 2000 all have cheap crappy plastic parts where they should have metal as plastic become brittle and breaks in 2 or 3 years ,now BMWs are real money pits but back in the 1970s and 80s they were great cats

Brian Bonilla Mazda sells so few cars in the US because of that awful dealer network. Last time I considered buying a Mazda 6, the local dealership did not impress me with cars covered thick with pollen, and one without any gas in the tank. And no dealership in East Tennessee would order me a manual Mazda 6 - they recommended I drive to Ohio instead :O

My cousin worked there in Guanajuato he said they sick and are cheap cars (Mazda)

Well Mexican is still technically American; Does/did VW have/had a factory in the USA?

@@joebloggs7177 Yes there is VW factory in Tennessee

Never listen to JDPowers reviews on car reliability as they are not car experts and are consultant PR firm they only watch for major problems cars have within first 90 days after purchase

Like BMWs they were great reliable cars in70s and 80s but after 2005 they went downhill with "BIODEGRADABLE " PLASTIC , that must be replaced every 2 years as it melts when they shod use metal or good quality rubber . Seems like BMW is under the control of accountants who know nothing about cars ,instead of engineers who love driving reliable cars

My context was only for US models as that was where my data point came from. Most US models by volume sold in the US are made in mexico. Now and then. Thanks for watching and for the feedback. I appreciate it Paul

Pedram M. They paint 600 cars a day. Statistically at least one will have problems. 1 anecdote doesn't prove their Mexico facility is worse.

Sound's like you got a lemon...

@@Backdraft851 it was. My 7.5 gti was totaled rip

check you vin if it starts with a 3 ur mexican

I own a 2017 GTI. It was definitely built in Mexico. The dealer was lying to you, probably because of the perceived inferior quality of the Mexican built cars. But I can tell you that my Mexican built MK7 GTI has been the best car I've ever owned. I know that the MK8 Golf will be built in Germany, but that's because we're not getting that car here in the US. We will get the MK8 GTI and Golf R but not the standard Golf. I'm not sure where they're planning to build those cars, but I suspect they might build them either in Mexico or at the Chattanooga factory.

@@foomanshooo um ok you are right. After doing further research into where my car was made it says that on the VIN if the first digit starts with a 1 - 5 then it is made in North America. Mine indeed starts with a 3. So yeah the dealer lied to me.

Claro que si

Ese laquarto??? 🤥🤗

Tambien es por la mano de obra barata.

Low wages more profit for car builders. However Mexican work ethic is under appreciated.

DCassidy42 all depends on the plant though. Germans are known for taking meticulous care, well Mexico not so much

Germans are known for great engineering. That engineering doesn't go away because the car was built in Mexico. As far as care, that can be had anywhere. Look up their plant in Mexico it's pretty impressive.

JayTac1 im not saying it isn't but for some people its peace of mind to know it was built in Germany

Have you watched the factory videos? They are mostly built by robots. All the most important parts of the vehicle assembly, spot welding, painting, and such is done by robots. And they don't care if they are in Mexico or Germany. The guy is right in the video when he says it comes down to the quality of the components.

DCassidy42 disagree, it all depends on how relaxed or stressed the employees are, which conditions they're in and so on. this isn't about race or skin color. go back to your safe space.

no real difference. an aftermarket tune will negate that

because? yeah right... no reason

Shane Mitchell made in the USA will be worse anyway

Doesn't matter where the parts are made. Even China. If it's made to drawing and specs. It could be made by anyone anywhere in the world. And it theoretically is the same. This is why China dominates the aerospace industry, everything is made to tight specs. Theirs no room for American made quality or Swiss precision when everything must be virtually identical.

IMP idiot

Idiot

German engineering at it's best. They even built the robots with the buttons for Mexicans to push.

I love German engineering!

i love my vr6 jetta!!

Marco Garcia it was a ford, what were you expecting?

Trust me man your not the only one. The made in Germany sticker to me is a guarantee of authenticity.

klavier285 yeah I know what you’re saying it’s hard to visualize a Porsche 911 made in Mexico!

100% agree. I got woodworking machinery Made in Germany also... they don't make it any more.

thanks for watching

And that's not going to change with where it was built. And they all have the same warranty.

IamTROLLIFIC depends on the model.. Ive seen Jettas, Golfs and Beatles beeing abused so baaad and they are still running good, also Passats are a kind of common for uber. They are pretty much reliable, i think they have the same quality and reliability

Jona ML no difference

Frijole power!

Dora the Explorer would make things more fun and adventurers! No need for that talking map if she’s got a r-line vw golf with navigation.

Jona ML Mexican what! Power!? You are joking! Mexico sucks!

Every engineer knows that engine blocks made of refried beans do not last.

+jetsfan1993 right but were the issues part failures or initial build issues?

Deutsche Auto Parts mostly computer system problems

J Aranda mommy and daddy didnt buy my volkswagens also this isnt a political video its a auto discussion video get your head out of your ass

raphiology i dont live in the us number one number two chances are your only a butt hurt university student that cant handle when things dont go your way and three im a oncologist i have way more education than you could ever dream of and last like i told the last moron this isnt a political video its an auto discussion video what if i had said i never had a vw built in mexico what if i had one built in portugal or russia and had problems still then what cause the vw company has plants all over the world they were the first company to sell internationally in most of the world so maybe you should get your facts straight

First, learn how to use your and you are. Second, learn how to use punctuation in your sentences so i can understand what you are trying to say. and last, every damn youtube keyboard warriors say they're doctors, astronaut, etc. so i dont give a damn what you are (not that i dont believe you but having a trump DP with that 5th grade quote.. its just hard not to). Cheers bro.. dont get so butthurt and save your "intellectual" reply to yourself.

Stop throwing your empty beer cans and bottles on the carpet then!
