I've been fortunate to own all good VW's, but my grandma got a cabrio that was an electrical nightmare. My MKII was pretty bad, but the shop fixed it up good (who wants to go through wires? not me!). I think VAG is over their electrical problems for the most part *knock on wood*.
Wow some of you guys do get ticked off easy.
I am just writing my honest opinion from a neutral stand point of view. I am only looking to find the best bang for my buck on the next car so obviously I have to consider all the vehicle possible (wrx, ms3, gti, a3, 128, civic si, and even a mustang...) I did mentioned in the post that I find the new gen2 MS3 has excellent handling after test drive. The interior also surprised me with impressive quality. I also mentioned I am trying to checkout the MKVI in the near future as well. I do have a high expectation for the GTI and I can't wait to drive one just like everyone else here.
I am not ashamed of my scion xA at all. In fact, it has been a wonderfully cheap, reliable and nimble car that has well served its purpose. To those angry GTI fan, you need to take it easy sometimes and clearly look at the competition. This does not mean you don't love the car anymore but it just means that you are trying to improve the car you already love so much by observing and improving its short comings when compare to others. No car is perfect.

No one's angry, this is the internet. The M3 is perfect FYI. Thanks for the essay.
If the M3 is perfect then there will be no reason for BMW to invest anymore R&D and come up with something even more fasinating like: http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/09/23/rumor-is-the-bmw-m1-back-in-play/
It all comes down to personal preference, and what you value in a car.

Perfection can come in a variety of forms. Luckily VW took a huge chunk of perfect and crashed a MKV into it and now we have the MKVI.

the car's you have driven to date are all good cars, I'm sure. But I'm convinced you'll see the difference when you drive the MKVI Golf GTI. It really is the best all round performance hatch in it's class.
Apparently the new Golf R is even better according to our press over here.....

Good questions
Sounds like the light steering is the same thing I noticed in every Audi A3 I've driven (and testers have complained about) but it improved at higher speeds.
I drove the 128i recently (it's still on my 'possible' list). The steering was just OK, but not nearly as communicative as older Bimmers like a '96 328 I once had. Nice engine but awkward stying. Reportedly in one magazine comparison it was dissed for bad understeer. Want exceptional steering? Try my S2000 or about any Miata.
