I don't know, Lisa, I have never had all those problems with "peripherals". Thirteen VW over the last 35 years and I've never had even a crack in the dash. Changed one fuel pump, no broken door handles, latches, etc. Upholstery has held up very well. But then I have had very few serious problems of any kind with my vehicles, many with over 100k miles. I do very little maintenance other than filters, oil, spark plugs, wash and wax. I do drive the hell out of them.
