Remember, forums are still by standard new. No one has ever had the oportunity to vent about vehicle quality issues like this. I like it said best, no one gets on here everyday and says, made it to work for the 262nd time this year with no issues in my speed3. Just imagine if there were forums for more generic cars like Malibu's and Ford Taurus'. WOW would they be fun to read....

They'd be nothing but mileage and "goddamn it's hard to replace this heater core" threads.
Check this thread out to see how the MS3 owners here feel about their car. The numbers speak for themselves:

Wow... I remember playing that on a VIC20....
You know it! I used tape storage for over a year before I got my 1541 disk drive! Ahh... the good old days. I remember my first 300 baud modem...
Something from the 80's.
You think MS3s have problems??
You should do a quick visit through a New Beetle forum, like I did when I owned/drove one. Much more exiting in that sense with people not understanding why the CEL came on for the Nth time, why the plastic in the interior is peeling, why the AC isn't working, why they need to change their coilpacks, why the window switches keep breaking, etc.
It's exactly that lack of problems on this forum that gave me a bit of peace of mind in buying a speed3
haha my wife had a new beetle, we sold that s*** ASAP after the problems kept on coming. I agree with you totally that car ******* sucked and broke all the time. Thats the type of car you NEED a warranty for! Too bad i didnt have one damnit! Yeah and whats with the cheap ass plastic interior peeling? Even on the Jetta it does the same thing, how the **** does plastic peel? Almost like they put a clear coat on it or painted over the plastic or something.

Yeah, I expected a very different car/dealership experience. I bought mine used, and also didn't have a warranty. I got a good deal on it, and expected a few issues, but Christ!
Credit where credit is due, my car never left me stranded or anything, and it was the car that I had during the, very sweet, college years, so I'll always have a lot of attachment because of the memories and everything. But it was frustrating that, even taking great care with my car, something was always wrong, broken, or close to failing, and a trip to the dealership(the only one in town) would sometimes end up with another problem, an expensive part, and the impression that I was getting ripped off. If it wasn't for such a bitter experience I'd seriously have considered a GTI.
agreed totally! the jetta and the beetle are expensive as s*** to fix! I bought an extended warranty for the jetta so at least SOME things are covered.
But like you said, a trip to the dealership can be a b****! I too only have 1 dealership for VW nearby and they are always busy as **** and need 3 days notice for appointments as they are always backlogged and they take forever with the repairs also. That really deterred me from buying a GTI as well as I did not want to have to go to VW for anything, not even a recal or warranty work as I know it would take forever and they would give me the runaround.
I saw a commercial the other day for aftermarket warranties that allow you to go to wherever you want as opposed to the ******* dealership, which would save me a lot of time and hassle! I think once my Mazda warranty is up I'll buy one of those so I can go to my own place that allows mods as opposed to the Mazda Dealership.
