2002 Volkswagen GTI V5 Exclusive 2.3 V5

Summary:

If you live near your VW dealer, buy the car

Faults:

Windscreen wiper engine replaced, front and rear.

The instrument panel glass make noises. The car has been for service 4 times, but its not yet fixed.

Noise from the backseats. Haven't been fixed.

The front lamdasond broke down. Fixed.

General Comments:

The handling is OK due to the 225/45 17 tires and lowered suspension.

Quality great when it comes to material, but reliability of the mechanical parts its pretty normal I think.

Engine sounds lovely.

I could have been very pleased with the car if the service was OK, but the service sucks! The minor problems I have would have stayed minor if they were fixed the first time. But the fourth time you get real frustrated. I mean this is not the most cheap car you can buy today.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I want to comment my self. It should of course be 18000 kilometers and not 1800.
