I got a good one
I bought my TSi used at 23,000mi. Apart from a minor leak in the A/C at 60,000, the car has been great, needing only normal wear and tear items replaced. Now at 130,000 miles and 11 years, the car is mostly suffering from "old age". I had two 30,000 miles of commuting years, suffering only a puncture. I've never had to add oil to the 3.5L between changes. I was warned about buying this car used, but it checked out well under inspection. Regular required maintenance has been performed, including transmission fluid changes every 25,000 miles. Perhaps that's why almost all the parts are originals.
Good Car for the Money
We've had this car for over 8 years now and it has been overall a good car. Its had some problems, mainly the A/C and we replaced a tie-rod end and sway bar connecters in the front, but overall its been good. I change the transmission fluid every year, which might be excessive, but ... Its real fun to drive, has lots of room, and lots of options. Rides great.
just keeps on kicking
I bought this car from a friend a couple of years back and now it is over 175,000 miles and just won't quit. The a/c is dead and the clips to the windshield wipers fluids tubers are broke, can't replace these either but it always starts no matter the weather and kicks snow out of the way better than most trucks I have driven ( 2 foot snow drifts? this car laughed at them). The check engine light also goes on for no reason. Have had it on the computer half dozen times without any problems. Get up and go is great, passes other vehicles easily. Oh and if your taller than 5'7" your going to hit your head almost every time getting into this pretty little car. I love my purple beast.
I can't complain.
Overall this has been a pretty good car. The transmission has been fixed twice, the air conditioning also broke twice. The tie rods have been changed in the front.
