First Car Ever Owned — This car was a piece of J-U-N-K! Bought this in High School and it had so many issues (of course I learn about after buying) Essentially, the electronics were shotty, and I blew the engine. Replaced the engine,spending way too much money on it. Should have never even bought this or should have dumped it when then engine blew. Sorry VW lovers, but this one was CRAP!

Pros: Since it's a required field, I have to type something.....J-U-N-K!!!!!

Cons: EVERYTHING.....BEWARE!!!!!!!
