The only problems were a water pump at 105K, and a brake booster at around 50K (VW picked up the cost despite being out of warranty). Everything else was still going strong at 130K. It's not a speedy car (81hp I think), but it'll hold 80mph cruising very well. I had the 4sp which had a fairly tall 4th gear by VW standards. As a result, the car isn't as "buzzy" on the highly as a Golf or Jetta of similar vintage. However, the handling was sub-VW. On interesting fact is that it's probably the only Brazilian built car on the road in the US.
