My wife loves the way it handles and the attention it receives. Mechanically it has been exceptional with one exception. The ignition cylinder malfunctioned and we have been waiting over 2 months for a replacement. 👿. The only reason that progress is being made is because I contacted Customer Care at VW Headquarters. The dealer who is supposed to be doing the service is hopeless.

Car hestitates significantly when starting from a standstill. A service guy said it's due to chain driven transmission. It sucks...a safety issue potentially if you had to get out of the way. Crummy mileage on high test. Very noisy interior. Tires very noisy after rotation. Rear seat non existent.
