We all seem to love the steering wheel more then anything else, but what annoys you most about your MkV? Me... no power seats but power lumbar?!

Nothing annoys me about the car(the rattles maybe... a little) ...but the service is by far the worst in the auto industry.

The thing that bothers me most about owning my Rabbit is this is the forum I have available to post in.That and having "old school" Rabbit owners giving me **** because mine is not a "real" rabbit.

the MFA. Instead of having a screen that says "setup only available when stopped" just dont show that screen!!! or do it like radio and you have to hold menu to get into the settings.speaking of the radio, i dont like how the 'cd' button is for AUX and if hold 'cd' it starts RANDOM. the CD button isnt labeled RANDOM or AUX so it isnt obvious it has all those functions.
Neither is it correct to use an apostrophe with plural abbreviations or numbers and years -- CDs, ICBMs, PCs, VCRs, 90s, 18s, etc.Oo \xxVxx/ oO

I hate living in a city and having people hit my new car when they are trying to park and pull out from parking spots. I have a nice scrape along the side of my rear bumper from such actions. Other than that everything is great!

This is something that can be fixed, but I've heard of it coming back...the radio clipping issue. It only happens when I'm listening to FM radio(which is seldom), but it's still annoying.The whirr that stirs my ear drums when I open the rear windows and/or sunroof. When the song title doesn't scroll on the headunit even when I set it to scroll.

When I'm low on washer fluid my MFD flashes continuously to tell me to fill up the reservoir, but when my somethings wrong with my engine all I get is a small check engine light in the Tach area. WTF??? Is washer fluid vital to the car? You'd think I was running without oil or something!  other than that I love my MKV 
I wanna go fast!

No bluetooth, but there is a button. Ipod connector doesn't display the track info. The service centers definitely do suck! And no power seats!!!
But we all still do love these cars

Actually the most expensive Jetta is not the GLI its the 2.0t PKG 3 and that has everything. There is nothing wrong with the radio....Get it flashed. The performance will increase 10 fold. (youre probably upset the stock stereo isnt earth shattering)

It lacks 4-Motion. The other stuff I'll buy aftermarket. A boost gauge would be nice. They don't cost too much.

most annoying -
the fact that if my car sounds like it's 20 yrs old everytime i start it after a few hours of sitting, thanks to the secondary air pump, damn thing sounds like the exhaust is ready to fall off (for a few seconds anyway).
A noise, which according to the dealer, is normal

My only major complaint is the ride height.. the car would look 10x better dropped 2" from the factory.. Other than that and the piss-poor gas mileage (heavy right foot), its an awesome car!
