We have a Jetta. Sorry to disagree but you should complain. Our other
car is a 98 Saturn with over 150,000, no engine problems and little
money spent on repairs. Previous cars have been about the same, even
our Neon went over 125,000 with no major problems except the dumb fan
always stopped every few years due to rust (just cleaned it out). Got
rid of it when I hit a large chunk of ice and destroyed the oil pan.
Car drove over 17 miles from work to home, red light came on just as I
got home. Next day drove it onto a flatbed, no trouble.

I'm not complaining either BUT, these cars are rough on the wallet.
They are however great in crashes!!!

Good luck,
Dermott
