 ... all I wanted was a car, not a 
lemon.  Between the recalls, that I was 
never alerted to by VW and the other 
problems (interior & trunk lights 
malfunctioning often; replacing both 
headlights/taillights twice in four 
years, timing belt breaking/causing 
major damage to the engine).  The 
timing belt and damage was covered 
under warranty, but not until I started 
making phone calls.  My experience with 
the dealerships have been almost as 
disastifying as owning this car.  But 
overall, my 1st car buying experience 
was not a good one.
