When my 03 GTP breaks, which is rare, I fix it myself.
I have a buddy with a new VW something or other turbo, with a 6 speed dsg trans. The trans has already failed twice under warranty which without warranty would cost thousands. He says it shifts like somebody learning to drive a standard trans.
That's a new car.
Edit: A family member has a VW diesel, still on warranty. They told him the turbocharger is almost finished. The car has less than 90k miles.
