2002 Volkswagen GTI review from North America
"This Car Should Only have One Color - Yellow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Car alarm mysteriously goes off.
The Drivers side door is creaky.
Two ignition coils have failed.
The paint is chipping on tailgate handle.
The Battery Exploded and was replaced by the dealer.
General comments?
Don't buy this overpriced car. THe Build quality is not so good, Fun to drive, but 6 times in the shop in less than a year with only 10,000 miles on it?
This is pathetic. Get something, get anything. But don't get a VW!!!
