1995 Volkswagen GTI review from North America
"This car is WORSE than an american car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My sunroof no longer works, dealer quoted about 400-600 dollars to repair.
Drivers and passengers side windows have failed dealer quoted 400-600 to repair each.
Electronics have been a nightmare.
New shocks about 800-1000 dollars.
Actually running out of room for rest.
General comments?
To continue, electronics have been a nightmare, quoted about 1200 for new wire harness just to diagnose computer code error messages.
I have stopped trying to put on the side plastic panels they keep falling off.
I have spent more on rotors and brakes than the entire maintenance for my previous car, a honda.
