General Comments:
From day one, I bought this car because it looks good and drives incredibly. However I am always waiting in the back of my mind for something to go wrong.
I have no confidence in the quality of this vehicle.
The decision to no longer purchase VW was easier as the company's latest generation design is horrific. Unfortunately BMW also went down the same route of terrible design.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

My '02 was a great car.
