Not to mention you get a timing belt to change every 60k miles.

After my wifes VR6 I will never get a water cooled VW again.
Err, not quite so. Late model Mercedes parts are MUCH more expensive than VW. BMW is somewhere in the middle.
I assume it was an Mk3 VR6? Sorry to hear your dislike with VW now but treat yourself and drive an Mk5 or better yet an Mk6 and I think your mind will change. The Mk6's are by far the best VW's yet. (Of course we're talking about Mk4 TDi's in this discussion, which weren't bad, but the Mk5/6's put anything earlier to shame quickly). Just my $0.03.

Get an Mk5 or Mk6 if you do.
