I'm a member of a very loyal VW family (Grandma bought her first VW in 1959!) that through Grandma, my Mom, and me have collectively owned over 35 VWs.
In Aug. '00 I bought a new '01 Jetta 1.8T that the dealership ended up buying back from me for full price after 1 1/2 years and 25000 miles due to ongoing transmission problems. I then got an '02 GTI 1.8T that was also in the shop EACH MONTH I owned it. After 6 months of it and becoming very disillusioned with VW, I traded it in for my '98 900 SE turbo convertible (83000 miles at the time) and a check for $4000! BEST choice I ever made.
The Saab hasn't been in the shop yet, with me putting on an additional 47000 miles in the last two years - the only things I have done are normal maintenance items. I love the car - the reliability, the uniqueness, the performance - everything about it. I seriously doubt that I will ever buy another VW!
