I'd say it's more that the only Mexican VW's that end up here are the New Beetle and '06+ Jetta. Golfs and Passats have a very strong reputation for reliability here. (Golf sourced from South Africa, Passat sourced from Germany).
It's all an issue of the factory it came out of, the componentry has been proven reliable. For example, the factory in the Czech Republic that turns out the Skoda models is incredibly high tech and efficient and as a result Skodas top reliablity surveys, the dedicated Phaeton factory is another good one, as is the Wolfsburg one for the most part.
The Mexican one is staffed by people who went from making Beetles and Kombis to making Golfs and Jettas, that's like going from making Remote Control airplanes to making space shuttles.
