2007 vw gli

My mother bought one a 4-6 months back, I mention it if you recall. It had 44,xxx miles on it, now has 55,xxx. Has the DSG Auto, moon roof, cloth seats, HID's, etc. Over all the car is nice and fun to drive, but the transmission leaves little to be desired for. Manual shift mode, still shifts up or down when you don't want it. It will roll a bit before it catches it self (on hill). I also don't think rearward visibility is great. Mother complains about not seeing front of hood.

But worse of all is the quality of this car. Paint peeling of plastic trim on the interior, also in between the side windows. Headliner is falling off is about to be a hazard. AC had to be replaced under warranty and still does not cool very well. Two of the brake lights burned out. Just a bunch of little shit that overall would not recommend this car for anyone who is interested...

Only good thing? APR Stage 2...

What do you expect, VW and audi always have electrical and mechanical gremlins. The only difference is with audi you usually get a nice looking car and a badass interior. VW is like Audis retarded brother. Has all the gremlins of audi but is uglier and slower.
