yea, 1 thing i didnt like, and again i dont know much about vw, but when i turned it on, there was a knocking sound, which sound like it was a deisel. but it went away after 2-3 seconds.

to me, they just seem to drive nicer, maybe they have different spring rates to make up for the weight up front :dunno: they seem much more firm and responsive to me.

as for long term reliability, my gf's dad has a 92 passat wagon with somewhere in the neighborhood of 215-220k.... so thats testament that the cars last :dunno:

that could be it. the gti models have shorter springs, bigger sway bars and such.
