The power window switches don't behave properly. Press the down direction and the window goes down... or up... or nothing at all. Volkswagen says there's nothing wrong with the switches.
The vacuum hoses have gone bad. I paid to have them replaced, only to find out that they had been recalled. Refund was hard to get.
At 60,000 the engine jumped timing. Luckily, I had purchased an extened warranty (can't recommend this enough). The repair cost me $25 but was over $5000 dollars worth of work. The car was in the shop for 7 long weeks.
The engine has lots of power especially with the manual transmission.
The car looks good and is very quiet in the cabin.
Lots of room.
The blue and red dash board are very cool.
My 99 GLS has the same problem with front electric windows. Service says it's just touchy.
