I had one, and the engine really didnt present much of a problem as i have stated in previous posts, its very reliable, unless, you treat it like ****, the only thing wrong with those lil guys its the transmission, it isnt soo bad, but i had to change the entire thing like twice. it ran faster than what my rs does hahaha XD, no but seriously, if you know the right places (cheeap parts) or people, a vw can be a REALLY affordable thing and can last longer than roaches...

 

GLi... As in the VR4 or 1.8T?
