Until people make buying choices based on security then this will continue to be the case.

People might start to care if they understood that but at the moment the sales is done before the individual know their P&J is so easily stolen.

Maybe insurance companies should start assessing the security of cars to decide on the risk of theft and then adapt premiums. If I was an underwriter I would be ramping up premiums on VAG cars until the manufacturer fixed the issue and had it independently tested.

Really high insurance helped kill the hot hatch for a while until security got better.
