I find it very interesting that there are so many old VW's on a lot of these lists. I myself have owned 3 GTI's (MK II, MK III, and a MK IV) as well as an Audi S4 Avant. My wife drives a MKIV Golf 1.8T right now. I personally love German engineered cars but man are they a pain to maintain an expensive to fix. I guess that's why I came back to Toyota (owned a 3rd Gen runner and loved it)!
