Tell me about it.

My good friend has a 00' Jetta GL that has a failed auto tranny w/ 120k on it....$4k installed.

Another one has a 01' a4 1.8T,he's selling it. He's had it four months and has spent over $3k in repairs.

My Dad's old 90' Jetta GL w/ the Digifant system was the most unreliable car I've ever dealt with, period. That car spent the last three years of ownership in the service bay at the dealership. It was a joke. Shortly after we gave up on it Consumer Reports named it on the 'Top 10 Used Cars to Stay Away From'

My Dad also has a 98.5' Jetta GT that has been phenomenal though. 140k and not a single issue to date.
