This car just didn't do it for me. I tried to improve it by removing the passenger seat. Car is too small and too light. My girlfriend is 270 lbs, and with her as a passenger, this car didn't deliver. Even a Neon has more umpff. The car had 180k on it. Ghost of a car, could pass like a maniac under rush hour traffic. Haunted by evil spirits, and endless repairs. Only managed to squeeze 3k out of it, before I gave it away. Bad transmission. Bad suspension. Bad torque steer. Maybe if I had the vr6 with the manual, I might have had a better experience.

Worst car ever! Owned for 5 years, bought new, baby this car. Replaced 4 batteries, 2 alternators, 3 shocks, and last week had to rebuild the engine. $24,000 cost of car, $8,000 in unusual repairs in 5 years. VW will not honor warranty on same 1.8 liter engine used in the Passat that is known for having oil sludge problem and been recalled. Engine light came on and within 2 minutes the engine locked due to oil sludge,result was a destroyed engine. $3700 to fix, VW wanted $5000. I am filing case in small claims court. I loved this car but it has been the worst car I have ever owned, the second to worst was my 1984 VW GTI. STAY AWAY FROM VW! My car has been towed six times, thank God for AAA.
