Steering column smokes periodically (not regularly) when starting.
Exhaust system rusted, fell off.
Door locks failed, causing alarm keep going off. Fixed (vacuum pump $300).
Sun-roof guide rails broke, would not shut properly. (fixed $1000)
It's a good car overall, I've had more problems then most I've seen. Parts are expensive, especially luxury parts like CD Changer, and roof racks.
Car handles pretty good, although if I bought another I'd step up the engine to the VR6. The 4-cylinder doesn't have the highway speed. Tops out around 130 KM/H.
Haha, 130 km/h only, it's pretty impossible... You probably means 130MPH... because no volkswagen with a 2 liter will top at only 130kmh. My friend has a 1.8 liter and goes near 200 kmh with it... and its stock.
