- I have been to the dealer 20 times in the last two years (including
- regular service visits). My wife and I LOVE the car. There is
- nothing else like it for the money on the market. Nothing. But we are
- concerned about future maintainance costs now that the warrantee is
- up.
-
- I'm dissapointed in VW. This car was manufactured with poor quality
- control. My question is: IS THIS NORMAL??? This was our first VW
- and might be our last.
-
- Thanks for any feedback,
- Rich
