Bosch should be the safest choice for German cars, but avoid their gimmicky "Plus 4" plugs that have 4 ground electrodes, unless that's what the car came with from the factory.
Pros: safest choice
Cons: gimmicky plugs

Bosch provides OE for VW spark plugs. Plug your vehicle into autozone and just buy the bosch ones. They come pregapped.
Pros: come pregapped
Vehicle:

In our shop, my dad favors a high torque auto stick Bosch reman starter but I’m at home and can’t remember the exact part number. We use it on many standard and super beetles, ghias as well. It’s great for varying terrain.
Pros: great for varying terrain
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
Have Bosch "ICON" wipers on another car that sits outside, hammered with UV rays, those have been on the car for about four months. They clearly are taking more of a beating, and are holding up well.
Pros: holding up well
Recently switched over to Bosch Icons on my 3rd car (Mercedes B250) and felt it cleaned better than the Michelins.
Pros: cleaned better
Vehicle:
Mercedes
I went with Bosch Quiet Cast rotors and pads a year ago. Extremely happy with them.
Pros: extremely happy
The Bosch Envision line is also a direct replacement and snaps right into the Mazda connector. They're pricey.
Pros: direct replacement, easy snap-in
Cons: pricey
I’ve always bought Bosch whenever I could, wipes and lasts pretty good idk about the Icon specifically though.
Pros: wipes and lasts
I recently installed a Bosch 040 fuel pump (which is relayed). Now prior to when I start the car I have about 12.7v, once it starts It sits at around 11.9v because he alternator doesn't kick on.
Cons: alternator doesn't kick on
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
I had a Bosch reman that self-machined itself to pieces in less than a year on my street car - the car that rarely saw more than 5K rpms. The Bosch replacement seemed to work OK but I sold the car shortly thereafter.
Pros: replacement seemed to work
Cons: self-machined itself to pieces
