 I have had a hate-hate relationship w/this car.  It was my dream car.  Has given me problems since the day I bought it.  If I hadn't bought it used it would probably classify for the Lemon Law.  Catalytic converter, O2 sensor, engine light has been on, air bag light has been on. The latest is the coolant leak.  I will never buy another VW EVER again.  I probably wouldn't take one even if someone gave me one for free!! It has cost me thousands of dollars to keep it running and I only drive it 10000 miles a year. Can't wait to get rid of it.
