The car is only a month old for me but I absolutely love driving it. I commute 100 miles a day and this car makes it much less of a chore. Acceleration on the highway is amazing and the nimble handling makes it a blast to drive around town. The only knock that I would give it is that I am struggling to get close to the advertised MPG. That might be attributed to a heavy foot though. :-)

I was looking for a daily driver, so I needed a car that checked a lot of boxes and was comfortable, versatile, a strong value, and had great fuel economy. And yet as a car enthusiast I wanted something with a little personality and character, too. The GTI has delivered in spades. Given the practicality requirements I chose the GTI S in the four-door version with the automatic transmission. I'm having a hard time imagining how I can possibly list all of the great things about this car and the tremendous value it represents. Visibility, ride, comfort, and quality of interior and exterior materials are all excellent - you never feel like you're in an economy (read: cheap) car. As opposed to the fastest or best-handling hot hatch, Volkswagen decided to create a great all-rounder, which is actually one of the things I most appreciate about it - it doesn't beat you up over rough roads, or seem to always be wanting to rev, which, while fun, can get annoying if you're just trying to get from point A to point B (I have another more performance-oriented car for high-performance driving). I consistently see 28 mpg in town and 37 mpg on the highway. The only faults to note are that the transmission can hunt around a bit between shifts at low speeds, and the CarPlay system (which, overall, I love) sometimes isn’t smooth when opening or closing apps, or when using iTunes – occasionally I have to turn the CD player on first for the volume to work, though that may be because I have an older iPhone. The car’s driving modes actually create a noticeable difference in its overall character; in Sport mode, the steering becomes tighter, the ride firmer, and the shifts more crisp, for example, which is a lot of fun. I decided to purchase the car new for the warranty, as past GTIs have arguably had some issues, and I wanted to know it was maintained correctly from the get-go So far, I haven't had any problems at all. I also skipped the sunroof as I heard they leak and are complicated to repair. In all, the GTI - a sedan, station wagon, sports car, and economy car, all in one - is even better than I'd hoped it would be. I couldn't be happier with it. UPDATE: The car now has 16K miles on it and no problems at all. After a year and a half of ownership, I'm still really happy with it.

S trim lack lots of neat features, which are available only in SE/SEL, like climate control, auto lights.

Let me start by saying I did absolutely did not want to get a VW. I got mine at a price I couldn't turn down. I've put 20k on it so far doing oil changes every 5k with the VW recommended oil and I've had absolutely no issues. I also don't drive the vehicle like a mad man (99% of the time). Its has 50k on it right now, and no issues. Very satisfied with the engine performance. The only thing I don't like is the plastic oil pan that has the quick spill oil drain plug. You can upgrade it to the metal oil pan, but it's a little pricey. And the vehicle can get a little shaky going a little above highway speed. Overall, I have fallen in love with this car. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
