My ex had a New Beetle Convertible, nothing but issues with that car...
The TT doesn't generally suffer from any of that actually. Even comes stock with am upper strut bar. That Beetle was probably built in Mexico or some place. The TT is made in Hungary. It basically has all the differences one would expect from a $16K starting price vs. $45'000(new).

On edmunds, the user submitted reviews lean toward the 9.0. The VAG group hate is just more of that tribalism. I only wanted a TT for looks until I drove one. Then took Benz off the list and the only competitor for me was the new GTO. A veedub is just tons more fun to own/drive than a Mercedes. Every single one of my friends wants to be in line to take mine over if I ever get something else.
