Yeah they are pretty bad. I heard about a lad that had a weird knocking noise coming from the doors every time he hit a bump, turned out it was the chassis flexing :o
My GTI hatch was fine though, nippy enough, reliable, decent to drive and ok on juice for a 2 litre
Edit: Mine would redline at around 6.5k, although there's no point pushing the 8 valve to those revs, it's all low-down torque with no top-end really...
