In 2018, I bought a used 2016 S model with 5,000 miles on it, for $14,500. Couldn’t be happier. So far, zero problems, with regular maintenance. No squeaks or rattles. Drives smoothly and good highway mileage (drove 800+ miles and filled the tank twice. It now (2023) has 50,000 miles on it: still comfortable, still no problems, smooth ride. A really great little car—so much so that we bought another one (2018 model), pre-owned with 15,000 miles on it, for the family, equally reliable and a comfortable ride, in the city and on the highway. A friend recently drove it and said, “I love this little car, so smooth and frisky!” Every once in a while, I think about trading it in for a Tiguan, but I like it so much I’m keeping it.
