nicely disguised rocket ship
It looks like a Jetta, but it drive like a GTI. This is my 2nd (the first was a 2013), and I couldn't be happier with its power, handling, transmission and basic creature comforts.I got the low-end S model because the Autobahn trim with nav, leather, etc was not available within 500 miles. One unexpected upside: more ceiling room, which gives the cabin an airier feel and allows for a higher seat adjustment.

Silver sleeper
Fast, fun car for everyday driving. Got the Autobahn edition and love the safety, CarPlay, digital dashboard, ventilated seats, and practical utility. Lots of passenger and trunk space for a sedan. I live in FL and drive it to PA once a year. Get 38 MPG on the long trip. Also the seats are terrific over this long journey. I used to get a back ache along the way with the 3 series BMW I used to have. It also has a fabulous climate control system. It handles the hot humid weather easily. My biggest gripe is the lack of adjustment available for the front passenger seat. My wife hates riding in it, likes to drive it. The interior has some hard surfaces . VW could increase the appeal of this car with a few more touches. That said, I enjoy driving the car for trips long and short. It’s a bargain if you want a capable sports sedan.

Fun to drive
This is my first vw and I absolutely love it. Take it to the canyon and push the car as hard as you dare and it just hugs the curves.

Nice GLI
A test drive will tell you this is a roomy, driver's, performance sedan. My Biggest complaint is the poor audio quality of the Beats sound system. This Very low fidelity Scratchy nasally buzzy system should be Embarrassing for VW. Otherwise no issues so far. The DSG and drive modes give this car multiple personalities. 12/4/20 Besides listening critically to the Beats audio system carefully before you buy, listen to the noise if it has the Hankook tires. Also gauge the ride quality. You may want to upgrade the tire choice before or after you make the purchase. 6/7/21: 30,000 miles and no quality problems at all. 6/8/23: 2019 GLI, 64,000 miles with no quality or reliability problems at all.

Super fun and sporty
Great sporty car. Just picked up a 2019 pure white S with the DSG. Car is awesome! I haven't really got on it as I'm still in the "break in" period (at 600 miles). I really everything about this car from it's looks to it's performance. I sold my 2007 FA5 Si back in 2012 and have been wanting to get back into a sporty sedan ever since. This VW feels so solid and is a step above the current Si in performance and looks. As far as reliability, well only time will tell. I did drop it down 1 star due to there only being 3 option choices. I chose the S for a few reasons. I didn't want the 35th because of the wheels and blacked out roof and side mirrors as I am 45yrs old and it looked for younger folks. The Autobahn was a little more and wasn't wanting black leather as I live in SoCal Inland Empire and the Summers here see quite a few 100+ degree days. I with there was an option for options lol. I would like to have added to sunroof to my S. I will be back to update in the years to come.
