Bought this little car new

Purchased new by my parents as a high school graduation gift, 6 years and 106,000 miles later I still have it. Fender audio sounds as good as the day it was new, and everything on the car still works. It's also safe as I was rear ended and pushed into the car in front of me in 2018, and the only damage to my car determined by the body shop was paint compared to the BMW that hit me having it's bumper and headlights fall off. In the time I've had it I've had 3 issues: The shifter malfunctioned due to an unperformed recall, which caused an error transmission message occasionally when it was cold (free repair). The air conditioner fan started squeaking when braking, remedied by cleaning the vents as somehow something had fallen in the interior vents (free). The water pump was "weeping" at 67,000 miles and VW covered 90% of the repair leaving me with a $140 repair bill for a $1,400 parts and labor repair. No trouble otherwise, and not a dime spent outside of oil, gas, filters, brakes, spark plugs, and tires. Great car! I average about 38 mpg highway and 25 city, better than EPA figures, and plan to take it to 200,000 miles.

Love everything about this. Driver comfort, convenience, handling - overall a great driving experience. Any excuse or reason to run an errand to town or take a road trip!

This model doesn't support CarPlay although the plan was to have it in their 2014 model. I wish they had MIB II on this model or at least had an option to upgrade to MIB II so that iPhone's CarPlay could run on it, even later in 2016 or beyond. Heard that Texas Instruments and Volkswagen have collaborated on a new infotainment platform i.e. MIB II to deliver this technology but details are unknown yet about upgrade into this model.
