Replying to: Brewster95 (Dec 10, 2008 8:08 am) Sorry to hear about your problem. I'm with you, it does sound a bit fishy. Do you have another dealer near you? Take your car there for a second opinion (don't tell them beforehand what is the problem). You could also take it to an independent mechanic who specializes in VWs.   Search the web for another forum that specializes in VWs. I can't tell you the name here (against the rules), but the name rhymes with fortex.   I've been reading that forum for a couple of years (I own an 07 Wagon) and I haven't heard of anybody reporting your problem.   Good luck and keep us posted.

Replying to: verdugo (Dec 08, 2008 7:47 pm) If you look at Consumer Reports' detailed scores, you'll notice that under "Engine - Major" the problems dropped dramatically from 2001 to about 2003. From 2003 and on all models score well, most exceptionally well.   Question is, can you find a Subaru from 2003 or later for $7 grand? They hold their values well, so that may not be easy.   If a small wagon will do, consider a 2003 Impreza, or maybe a Protoge5.   Most manufacturers stopped making wagons and shifted instead to crossovers.
