What questions do you have in mind. I was still selling VW's in '98 and still have a lot of useless knowledge floating around in my head.

I have a '95 GTI-VR6 and a '96 Passat TDI. These will be the last VWs I own. The performance is nice, the ride is good, but the build quality rots. Ive have a lot of electrical problems with both cars and the cost of ownership is quite high. Of corse, I only use a VW dealer to do the work too. The reason behind dealer only service; I've had too many problems with general garages working on my past VW. The cars rattle and squeek. They have a tremendous amount of wind noise at highway speeds. The interior plastic is constantly breaking and the door interior door handle in the passat has 'paint' flaking off from my wife's finger nails. The seats are comfortable, the radio stinks. Gas mileage is good to great (TDI). What else can I say... Too much to type here. Email me if you want more info.
