And car is suddenly not so bulletproof, but is getting handled well (aside from the fact I again took it to that same VW dealership and they didn't bother to call me I wouldn't be getting it back same-day AGAIN).
Had a grinding noise from the passenger rear corner, my e-brake was acting funny, and now and then I'd get a nasty squeal from the corner. Turns out the dust shield was bent and rubbing now and then. Will be fixed today.
And then my clutch was intermittently chirping in 1st and reverse. They weren't able to repro it on the 1st day (it's VERY intermittent), but did today. There's a service bulletin for it. The fix? New clutch, which will be put in next week.
Hurray warranty!
I still love the car, would definitely buy again and recommend to anyone looking.
