1)   It is a very stylish, unique car. One of a kind. Easily indetifiable. - Ricky Nai

3)   they have electrical issues and even some have randomly caught fire due to this. Buyer beware. - Spammer

4)   Hitler mobile - Scuzzlebutt

5)   It generally sucks.
It's famous for reliability problems, with the most common being electrical and engine issues.

The 2001 model has a crapload of recalls. For your own safety, make sure these have been addressed before you take delivery. - Stupid Flanders

6)   Essentially its based on the VW Golf. If you are in the US then VW have had reliability problems, if you can get a German built car it would pay dividends. Be very guarded about consumer magazines as they do not tell a complete story. i.e 3000 Lexus will always seem to be more reliable than 20,000 Volkswagens. - L G

Question 5
Why does my vw golf electric windows stick?...  My golf windows stick when winding them down or up (Seems to happen random). They are electric windows on MK4 golf. I have noticed that the lights on the window switches flicks off when they stop and comes back on again. What could be the problem?
Forgot to mention its happening for all of the windows

Answers
1)   When the light goes off it is losing power to the windows. Maybe defective wiring or switch or connections. - Timbo is here

2)   hi there a few reasons yes it could be lack of power, but i think windows are sticking try greasing the window runners each side of glass, it could be the window winding mechanism seizing up again you have to take door panel off and spray release oil on all moving parts. it could be the window relay burning out. Jock - jock

3)   unfortunately a common problem with the mk 4 is the window mechanism falling apart, you can get a repair kit, but if you want my advise then buy the complete mechanism which comes with the new metal panel which it mounts on, cost about £70 if you shop around, it is not a 5 minute job and unless you consider yourself able to fix it then get someone who can, otherwise you could destroy the door panel trying to remove it. - Pete
