"Terrible car for the money!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Door panels creak.

Engine light has keeps turning on.

Seats are so uncomfortable it is miserable to sit for a long time in them.

Coating on center console is peeled off.

Car goes in reverse after being put in drive.

Terrible customer service.

Constant electrical problems.

General comments?

I bought this car brand new, and I have never been so frustrated!

I always have it in the shop, and I have spent almost $8,000 on repairs.

I bought it because it looked nice, and I wish everyday that I still had my old used Toyota, because it was so much more reliable than my Jetta.

You must have started having problems post-warranty as I'm sure you would have shaken the car before it was up if you had known these things were going to happen. I do find the comment about the seats being uncomfortable hard to believe as I have ridden for hours in many VWs and I can honestly say that they do beat most cars for comfort. Good luck with it, here's hoping that you can get something better next time.
