No. Do they launch cars to the public at a race track, then include a clause in the purchase documents that says the warranty is void as soon as the car enters the completion area of a race facility? No.

And most importantly! Do they treat their customers, who have a massive dedicated following and an amazing support community like a pack of idiotic, juvenile nuf nufs who, when contesting the legality and truthfulness of their claims they not only ignore but blatantly lie about the true root cause if a problem and then instill this same mentality at the dealership level because they in all honest, just don't give a sh*t?

Well, maybe, but at least the car will monster anything short of a stage 4 VAG and be less likely to break down

Barracuda, is yours a dsg 77tsi? If so, you haven't owned it long enough
Lets give the new 2013 Clio RS a year or so and see if they have some DSG issues or engine issues with the new 1.6L turbo. From what I have read, it has a lazy DSG with slow shifts. Nothing a software update cant fix though.
