Yes, I go out into my garage and find one of the hoods popped open all the time.

You guys better be careful. Germans don't take criticism very well.
PS- I am of German heritage!

seriously the key sucks!!!! There have been times when I sit right next to my car and hold the button and it won't pick it up....diagnosis found no problem....not to mention I am close to 6'1 and not a small guy so climbing in and out does suck....especially when one of the trunks randomly opens....
well the 20K service comes in a little bit, I'll have them look at the key and the steroeo that is just horrible when it comes to reception....
other than that, give it gas and its the best investment ever all over again....

The antenna extention mod didn't do crap for my car. Nor a buddy's car. Sucks.

Two Things
The cup holders on the 2002! Has anyone found a cup that fits in these things? The only things I can find that fit are those small Red Bull cans and I don't drink the stuff. Also, it seems that a lot of the internals especially around the head lights are made with very brittle plastic. I've had several things break with just the slightest amount of pressure.

It took me awhile but I found that the metal thermos cups with the wide tops and very narrow bottoms fit quite nicely into the cup holders. I wouldn't do any "spirited" cornering but for regular highway driving, it works well.

Cup Holders
Thanks, I agree with the German concept that you're suppose to be driving and not drinking something. I rarely listen to my radio the engine is music to my ears, but there are just some times that a soda or cup of coffee would be nice to drink driving back from a Sunday drive.

Guys,
The reason you couldn't find the variable speed switch on eBay is because the seller is closed through June. Check out the link.
 http://stores.ebay.com/Europa-Auto-Parts
I purchased the wiper speed switch as well as the dash mounted spoiler switch from this vendor. My main motivation was just to use some of the blanks in the dash. I have the spoiler position indicator light to go in the last blank hole but haven't yet installed it.
I believe I read somewhere the wiper switch may be available from a VW or Audi dealer. I didn't investigate so I don't know any particulars.
