I had a 86 GLI which was my first car I owned. It completely died on me at 125K miles & that's when I found the 87 SPG (205K miles, mostly dead) I have now. Yea, it's a lot quirkier but built 100x's better.
I learned to drive in a 86 900s which has about the same suspension as your SPG has & that unfortunantly made me not like the 900s to much even though it's still going at 230K miles. It's got the sas sway bars on it & much better now :o)
If your biggest complaint is that you can't see out of the window at stop lights, then just don't pul forward so far :o)
I would SERIOUSLY look at getting Intrax (or compatible) springs on the car if you don't have them already. Even going with OEM 87 + SPG springs will transform the way your car feels :o)
Some VW's are very good cars. Lots of aftermarket stuff for them but I have been bitten by the saab bug, not the VW bug :o)
