I have a 97 jetta with transmission problems. Began at 85000 miles. I wish they would just take the heap back, I'm done. Gone are the days that manufacturers actually stood behind what they made. A car should at least last 10 years. We all can't afford to buy new cars. I tell everyone not to buy the heaps of .... that VW makes. Never again with VW.

And to think that Veedubs as a brand have such a strong following. Anyhow, even though it's like a coke vs pepsi thing to some (VW vs Honda) I strongly recommend Honda. My GF and I have been driving them for years and many models back and they've always been very reliable, fun to drive (even the econo ones) and efficient. Good luck! What a bummer, man.

I've never owned a VW, but I've enjoyed the myths. I'm a Honda person, myself -- but I don't fix them. The 60's really are over, aren't they? How disillusioning!

I’m a Honda person, myself — but I don’t fix them.

The 60’s really are over, aren’t they?
