27000 miles on an 08 Cabrio here.. and was VERY close to considering it a lemon too. 3 crossover valve replacements, a bad steering wheel position sensor, and the dealer said they'd performed the shifter recall when they hadn't, stranding us one (of course) rainy night when the shifter locked up.. but it's been okay for the last 10k miles or so. Well, except for EATING tires and rims.
