The only thing that has gone wrong is the passenger side window fell off track and the brakes were bad when I bought it. The dealer fixed the brakes at no cost and I am getting the window fixed soon.
I am a Volkswagen fanatic and this is my first Volkswagen. It is bright red with tinted windows and small children always want to touch it.
For a six year old car, it acts like it is brand spanking new. I can't say enough about the gas mileage or the handling. I zip along the highway with minimal road noise and at higher speeds the engine is very quiet and I don't even feel how fast I am going. In a bright red car, though, that can be a problem as it sticks out when cops are around. A friend of mine says it looks like a Skittle.
Hi! I'm buying a 1998 too, and I'm looking forward to my "lime green skittle". Thanks for telling me that these cars are not that big of pieces of crap, cuz I have been reading a lot of stuff about them.!
Thanks buddy - Allie.
