like any car...it depends on who you ask..there's lemons in every tree...personally, i havent had any problems..i dont count wear items..like altenator,wp..i never had the wp issues...i'm still on the original clutch tranny,would be on the engine too,but i wanted a little more performance...now on the other hand we have some member who've had nothing but issues,just look in the troubleshooting forum for example,but like stated before it depends on the previous owner and preventitive maintence,so many people dont do the latter,they prefer the repair maintance for some reason??? than [censored] about how bad the car is...try owning a last generation jetta if you wont bad build quality
