The 98/99s were miserable cars. Rushed to production and LOTS of problems. Always thought of them more as 'lifestyle accessories' than actual transportation.

I had an 01. To call it cheap would be to insult lemons. I can go into detail if you want, but it was one of the worst built cars I've ever owned, and turned me off to VW going forward forever. If they improved it during their "let's lie to the government" years, good on them, but I just don't care having gone through all that.

Btw, beware of years like mine that had two configs in the same model year. My engine was the "whoops, we made the engine as thirsty for oil as it is on gas, but don't worry, we fixed it later in the year but we won't fix yours" models. Oh, the memories. Bye, bye bug. Could've happened much sooner!
