My anecdotal comment is that in general anyone I have known that has owned a VW typically loves their car but seems to have a lot more weird electrical gremlins and issues than any other brand that I have heard of. I think that German cars in general are a bit over engineered if thats even possible. lol.
I do love my car, however the windshield washer fluid stopped working. The hose is in a bad place and it bends right where the hood opens up so it eventually broke in half. You can only buy the whole hose all 5 m - for $86! My mechanic was going to replace the entire hose, but then found it's all wrapped up with the electrical wiring from where it starts to where it ends, so he had to rig replacing the section where it was exposed and broken. VW has such weird quirks.
