I'm no expert, that's for sure.
I'll say this, any VWs I've owned that preceded the A3 cars were great. I had an '87 Jetta with 596k kms, it was a fantastic car. I had a '91 Jetta that was great, my mom had a '92 that took unspeakable abuse. I think the problem was that VW reused a lot of the stuff (suspension components, brakes, 020 transmission...) in the later heavier cars. They also cheapened the overall build quality, things like electrics and the interior materials.
Anyway, I happen to LOVE Sciroccos, and have no issues with A1 or A2 VWs, so I certainly don't have any pissy comments. And FWIW, years ago I dated a girl with a Jetta GLI with the 2.0 16v. What a GREAT engine!
