I love this car, it's just fun. As much as the rust and minor issues annoy me, in the end it puts a smile on my face every time I sit behind the steering wheel. You feel the road as you drive it, and with that you gain a connection with the car, as if it's an extension of yourself. As much as I'd love a brand new clean car, I can't help but think it just wouldn't be as much of a joy to drive. 150,000 miles, 10,000 of which are mine, and many more to come.

Bought used with 25k Miles. Side door moldings fell off twice - design flaw. Cruise control switch failed twice. Great performance and handling - very reliable - lot's of fun to drive. Second GTI for me.
