One more thing. One huge problem with any of these cars built on the hot-V design (turbos inside the valley) is HEAT !!!! heat kills in mechanical and electronic scenarios. Most of the issues I have faced with my B7 is related to heat and degraded hoses and such. If they could do two things it would help tremendously:
1. better materials on anything inside the engine bay
2. figure out a way to get the heat out of the engine bay. something, anything!!!!
All you gotta do is stand next to one of these MFer's while running on a hot summer day and you can feel the heat coming from underneath. Or, when you park it in the garage after driving, come out to the garage 10 mins later and the garage is 10 degrees warmer. Heat kills.
