MUFFLER DEFECT

MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY GTI HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTING ONLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I KEEP HAVING TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR MUFFLER REPAIRS. TO DATE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 (FIVE) TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WHICH IS THE MUFFLER NOT HOLDING IT'S MOUNT THUS CAUSING BAD NOISES WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. IT WAS EVEN REPLACED ON THE SECOND OCCASION. FOR THE MOST PART I HAVE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE VEHICLE.

The prefect lemon--I even got it in yellow! Over 7 years of ownership I have averaged about $1000 per year in electrical repairs alone. It has broken down on the road six (yes, six) times. I'm counting the first flat time, because VW makes it impossible to remove the spare. The retaining nut for the spare is fused to its bolt with paint! Speaking of paint, mine is almost gone. The clearcoat began dissolving in patches at about 3 years old. The wheel wells fell off. At 83,000 miles it cannot pass NY inspection with two weeks of work done on it. This is the worst car there is.
