 I have to say that this is the worst car that I have ever owned.  I traded my 1992 Saturn SL1 for this car.  My Saturn was definitely a "no frills" car that was perfect for my needs, which at the time was reliable transportation to and from school and work.  My husband wanted a larger sedan.  Our VW ran great for the first 15000 miles, then it was in the shop constantly.  The car stalled frequently, lost power steering, had all sorts of electrical problems.  A recurring crack in the fuel line was the last straw and we traded it for a Saturn Vue.  I know others who have had many electrical problems with these cars.  They are pretty but not reliable.  I will never buy a VW again.
