the reason jettas have so many recalls and are just not that reliable, is that all jettas, and Golfs are made in Mexico, its put together like crap, so you get a crap car, but i'm sure VW would make the r-gt's in Germany and then ship it like the passat.
Or the fact that the Germans are notorious for electrical problems as were early English cars like jaguars.
His coilpacks went like 6 times, recall on the passengers side window kit, and a bunch of other shit. I have a co-worker with the same 1.8T engine in a GTi thats having the same problems right now.
