 I really hate this car with a passion.  Literally every day something goes wrong.  Yesterday my starter went.  I had it replaced.  Today the idle is going crazy and its smelling like gas really bad.  The coolant system is terrible.  Pretty much everything on this car is designed poorly and made of plastic.  The exhaust rattles of the underside of the car.  The electrical system is total junk.  I have had problems with this car since day one.  If you are reading this and are considering getting a VW, please go buy a Honda, seriously.
