I bought my wife a brand new 2002 VW New Beetle and it was a good car
until the warranty ran out after 4 years.  Then all kinds of problems
started occurring.  The last straw for this vehicle was when there was a
problem with an electrical switch that would not let you start the car
unless the car was in park (a current recall on this switch is in
effect).  There was another problem with the engine that we were told
the mechanic was not sure what the cause was and that it would cost us
at least $1000 to just get into the engine to see what the problem was.
Despite this, she wanted another VW New Beetle and this one has the
extended warranty, including free oil changes.

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: Any VW 2003 Jetta owners out there?

The last VW I owned was a 1977 Rabbit.  It gave citrus fruit,
specifically 
lemons, a bad name.  I absolutely loathed that car until I found a good 
German mechanic, then I simply disliked it.  That being the second VW
lemon 
in my experience, I swore off the brand.  They could be excellent cars
now, 
but I'll never know.
