This car does it all. 94,000 km so far. Had one update downloaded to the IT system at dealer . One overhead map light console replaced on warranty. Regular oil and filter changes . (Doesn't require any oil added between changes) No other maintenance has been required. Internal materials are soft touch and high end. Adaptive suspension provides your choice of a soft plush ride or a stiffer corner eating sports car , by the touch of a button. I'm 6'2 and 240 lb of muscle and this is the most comfortable car/suv I've ever owned . Perfect seating position. It's a wonderful car . You will find yourself going for drives just for the pure enjoyment of driving.

So its a great all around car. Its fun to drive and take on back roads. It now has the common know issue with the random missfire and VW has no fix for it.

Underrated Sports Sedan!

I'm getting more than 40 mag combined. Not just on the highway, city and highway combined! It's extremely comfortable and roomy for six footers 200+ pounds, and the turbo gives it plenty of acceleration power between 2nd and 6th gears. What a great purchase for sub $30,000.

Front wheel drive, awesome acceleration and a quick shifting transmission make this car amazing. The seats could be better in the S trim but that isn’t important when you are getting thrusted into the back of the seat at full throttle. Meanwhile the car is looking amazing with all of its well placed lines and the sweet hood that make it look sleek and sporty. When you aren’t enjoying the seat of the pants feel you can get around 34 mpgs on the highway while using your blind spot monitoring system to keep you safe on your trip. At night I can see so much further with the bright headlights and I can now see the deer on the side of the road. Instead of worrying about them just jumping out in front of me. Overall I don’t know why someone wouldn’t want this car it packs a punch in every category that I can think of and don’t get me started on the big trunk and all the seating space. 2/26/22: The car could be great. However the fuel line rattle that can’t be fixed is obnoxious. My door latch was freezing for the longest time. Causing the car to turn on the e-brake when coasting to a stop. Yeah that was a lot of fun. It took four applications of WD-40 to fix it. The threads are coming out of my drivers side seat cushion cover, again. The rear window defroster doesn’t get hot enough to melt ice all the way. The windshield wipers ice over whenever I’m driving because they don’t have a heat source. They rest below the front window defroster. The side view mirrors seem to catch every type of headlights behind you. Which directs it right back into your face. The rear e-brake is stuck on every morning making a loud pop noise when leaving. Under the front seats has a weird goo building up from the rear air vents under the seats. The performance of the car is great but everything else kinda adds up after a while.

Fun car to drive… especially in a manual transmission. Would make for a peppery little ride in commuter traffic.
