I love the way the Jetta and New Beetle handle, and the way they look, 
both on the inside and outside.  If you read consumer reports though, 
they've had to make a whole new class of unreliability to describe 'em. 
  We had to take our New Beetle in a dozen times to try and fix the 
same engine problem spending thousands of dollars on repairs.  Finally 
the engine just died while the car was under warranty and the dealer 
refused to fix it saying we didn't maintain it properly.

I'll never buy another VW again.

On the other hand, my bare-bones, bottom of the line civic ran for 10 
years and never had a problem.
