 Just after warranty, the manifold went bad.The injectors went bad.After five years of ownership the main engine seal and the oil separator went bad ($2,000) and the fuse housing under the hood melted ($675).I have been driving for 32 years and I have gotten bad gasoline with this car twice.Never before in 32 years has that occurred.The car is over engineered and too temperamental.VW's I've owned were also unreliable.If you have plenty of money and time to spend at the shop, you may consider this a fun car.
