the car has the inline 5 not the turbo 4 or vr6, i've had friends with the 5 and have had nothing but good things to say about the engines, the 6spd auto tranny is my only real concern, we would've gotten a manual but michelle can't drive stick, nor does she want to learn.....which is fine cause my 911 is a stick
i've already googled a ton of stuff, searched the vw forums and saw there are some problems with the older autos with the turbo/vr6 auto trannys, but couldn't find anything on the lower hp 5cyl.
