 This car has been a nightmare.  I 
highly advise that if you are 
considering a VW you should read 
Consumer Reports:  there you will find 
that VW is next to last in reliability 
among ALL manufacturers and the Golf/ 
Jetta platform is actually off the 
charts in terms of poor performance.  
My wife and I annually pay over $2000 
in maintenance and we are the original 
owners, the car has always been 
serviced regularly at the dealer, and 
has never been abused.  In fact, my 
Honda which is 3 years older and has 
60,0000 more miles on it is far more 
reliable.  Please keep this in mind 
when you make your decision.
