Everyone I know with modern German cars, except for Porsche, have as many problems with wear as I do in much newer cars because, IMO, the quality has gone DOWN not up in the last decade or so. VAG is just a complete joke with it comes to quality interiors after they are 3 years old. Soft touch shit just falls off. Headliners fall down, plastic breaks.
They feel great on the show room floor though.

You really hear that much negativity about German luxury cars? Their Baseline crap is usually just that.... crap. But the executive, comfort and sport packages are pretty up there in quality...
The M-line and individual line (especially the individual) are beyond rediculous as far quality though.
It's more that they use real wood, real carbon fiber, real brushed aluminum and so on so forth. Ever notice how non-existent play is in things as minute as the HVAC buttons? The only time we usually end up having to replace non-broken ones is because things like the writing will fade over time (or faster depending on the owner)
