Bit of a thread hijack - are turbocharged engines (VW or other) as reliable as regularly asiprate engines? I've thought often about buying cars turbocharged engines (e.g. the new Hyundai Sonata or the new Ford V6 turbos) but I'm concerned that the turbos just leave more parts to break.
It seems with the new CAFE standards in the US that manufacturers are going with turbos - just look at the number of "entry"-level cars with standard turbos (e.g. Chevrolet Cruze - not the base model but the next-step-up model). I suppose they must be more reliable than I'd "heard" (no experience whatsover with turbo or superchargers).
