"Not meant to last a long time"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It seems that Volkswagen had the car geared to break down right after it passed the 70,000 mile mark.

The car was surging when running at a constant speed. The throttle body was bad and had it replaced at a very hefty cost.

Three days after the throttle body had been changed, started having problems starting the car. If the car had been sitting for a few hours there are no problems, but if it hasn't it seems like the engine is flooded with gas. And it idles at 1600-1800 RPM. Going back to the dealership Monday to see what's wrong with it this time.

General comments?

Getting rid of it as soon as it's fixed this time.

It was great the first three years and little by little things have started to go wrong.

Would not recommend this car or manufacturer to anyone. I'm not going back to them. Going back to Japanese cars.
