Granted, it's probably noisier than Mrs. A would be happy with.
For a VW, yeah that is pretty good. We had to put the Beetle in three times for warrantee work. Technically the last time it was 200 miles out of warrantee but the folks at the service dept. were kind enough to get it fixed either through goodwill or by falsifying the mileage on the claim lol. Lots of loose trim pieces, a hatch release solenoid that went bad, a busted window regulator, a vacuum hose which mysteriously disappeared, that kind of stuff.
