 We have had this car 3 years.  Bought it
new. The steering column has frozen
twice and had to be replaced. The tires
were bald after 23,000 miles.  The
rotors went at 40,000 miles and the rear
calipers froze at the same time.  VW's
warranty had expired and they didn't
even offer sympathy.  This car is
unreliable.
