I actually didn't have ANY problems with my GTI until it hit 150K and now ...well it's just scary. I actually know all of the service guys at my dealership on a first name basis and I know what hours they work. I guess I'm just going to have to buy the RXS type-S so I'll have to save up (especially for the premium gas) or I'll wait until the 2007 model if my GTI makes it!
