Been driving an '04 MKIV 1.8T for the past few days while my cars are getting fixed. The thing that REALLY bugs me about my SAAB is the lack of parts available. Waiting for an ABS sensor to come from Trollhotten... 'Cmon now! that's something that should be in stock! Anyway, this VW has 100K on it and still feels new. I drove the same car when it was new too. It's really held up well, better than my SAAB with 45K. In fact my SAAB is a week newer than this VW. If the VW network has changed over the past 10 years (reason why I went with SAABs) I'd be back in a second! Anyone have any recent experiance?
My inlaws have an 04 MKIV GLS - slow as hell, but it holds up quite well. Dealership experience is a sucky one. My wife bought her A4 new from the same guys (Commonwealth in Santa Ana), but she's treated at least 100% better (must be a brand thing). Originally she wanted to buy a MKIV GTI - I am glad she went with the Audi instead. Regarding Saabs, there is a young chick in our street that drives a red 1992 900 Turbo 16V. I am waiting for the day that she puts it up for sale.

I was also bidding on a C900 Turbo when I won my 190, cancelled my bid on the Saab. They are getting really hard to find.
