brettblade, you have a few issues there, creaky door seals is easily sorted and common to more than VW, the rattle and the suspension noise needs to be referred to your dealer for rectification, but, can you report any positives? I have creaky doors (haven't got round to sorting that yet despite them being really annoying and having the oil to sort it...) and rattles on occasion here and there but I love the car, it has personality and liveliness with great comfort and performance. It looks superb and I like that there are upgrades possible that may or may not improve it but at least they make the car interesting and a project afterall, any car will get you around but you choose a GTI, GTD or R because you want them so surely there must be something about it that gets you going?
