The sorry thing is that the car drives just fine. It's 'fun' to drive, and the engine has never let me down, EVER, in a decade. A battery died once, and fortunately I was at home and the car was parked in the garage. Show me car where that DOESN'T happen: that even happened on Toyotas I've driven. The issue here is with the electrical and mechanical systems for dumb, cheap-ass plastic parts that require VW owners to have wallets the size of the grand canyon to maintain these little fuckers. And to think I actually considered buying another VW. The fucks.
VW, upgrade your fucking mechanical and electrical systems. I doubt you're listening, but you've officially lost a potential customer forever.
There, I feel better now. Of course the angst will all come back when I pay to get the window fixed this week. It's supposed to rain on Wednesday.

An update: the Jetta is fixed, and the guy who fixes it was genuinely sad to hear I'm selling it and going for a different car. Well of course he is, as I've paid his shop hundreds of dollars in the past year-and-a-half to help me maintain this beast. They are a good, reliable shop, so if you're looking for a place that repairs German cars, I'd certainly recommend them. They also repair MINIs, seeing that MINIs are essentially little BMWs.
Let's just hope I don't need to return to them with the Jetta in the next several weeks...
