Here is another reply, this one is from Parker, who seemed to have an issue
posting it:

 they suck, my girlfriend and i are still fighting vw about her car, long
story that i will post some day.
short story
car wont start, bring to dealership, they get car to start but tranny not
working right, they say tranny bad, so we replace tranny, same thing, so
$2,500 or so later car is in worse shape and not driveable. NOT COOL

we may be parting this car out soon cause It is "unfixable"
