"Good up to 40000 miles, wish I'd got rid of it then!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Broken radiator fan at 3000 miles.

Various rattles from dashboard.

2 ignition coils failed between 40-60k.

Rear stereo speaker stopped working.

Cigarette lighter stopped working.

Lambda sensor replaced @ 70000 miles.

Oxygen Sensor replaced @ 70000 miles.

Rear windscreen washer broken @ 65000 miles.

Dealership now saying catalytic converter is failing!

General comments?

Decent performance from car and fun to drive.

But the amount of failures and the money it has cost me is very upsetting.

It now spends more time in the garage than I do driving it!

I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER SEAT, no matter how good they look, the looks are only skin deep!

It's the VW parentage that gives these cars the poor reliability, despite VW's quality image they are generally very troublesome and plagued with constant design and quality issues.
