Personally, I need to see at least 2 generations of cars before I can trust an improvement in quality, but I hope you're right. VW is still in the bottom third of all the reliability surveys out there (even if some of them are the fairly useless Initial Quality variety), so that the end of the day you're still taking your car in for service more than you'd like to.
