MY radio suddenly died  I think it is one of the CDs misalligned inside. Will have the radio replaced. Bar-stewards at one VW dealership said that if I put a CD_RW inside, which is thicker, than warranty is void and I have to pay!  I looked thru manual and it says that mp3 player can play CD-RWs. So I don't know what he was trying to pull, that steward of a dealer. I am going to the guys I bought the car from, my acquaintances, they replace stuff without questions.

1. My electric mirrors sometimes dont fold out so i've got to try a few times before they do.
2. all the god damn rattles.
3. sometimes the driver side window has a mind of his own particularly within the 1st 30min of starting it on a morning.
4. The passenger side seat refuses to move forward properly when letting someone in the back. This is getting sorted next week.
5. Engine sounds like a diesel.
6. The ipod link is crap. Takes awhile to skip tracks and is not instant.

I've seen a lot of people are experiencing rattles with their car.

I've had the interior panels off my car to fit various bits and it is still as quiet as a mouse. apart from the induction noise and the exhaust buts thats only when I give it some beans 

Am I one of the lucky ones?

No real problems with mine build quality wise, no rattles, nothing.

Only things I supposes that I am unhappy about are regarding the design/quality :

- The 18'' monzas are a mission to keep from scratching/marking. I have to wash them with great car. Lots of soapy water and a lambswool mitt. Even then after 7 months of ownership there are a few scratches in them.
 
- The foot pedals have scatched quite badly and have gone shiny in places where my foot is on them. Not impressed by that at all - any one else find this?

- The brakes. They are very "grabby" - came from BMW 1 Series before GTI and the brakes (as with most BMW's) were excellent. I find there is half an inch of travel in the brake pedal where it does nothing and then all of a sudden they start grabbing, which can make it quite jerkie breaking.

slight rattles now and then, the thing i dont like is the starter motor its very loud and tractor like, blue reflection from speedo/rev counter very annoying on a sunny day.

Got the dealer to get rid of the centre vent rattle or there is a fix for it on VW Vortex
