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

Tall cups are an issue when you are shifting but not a deal killer. Lots of pep when the turbo kicks in. I have put 800 miles on mine an love it. Traded in a 2010 Jetta manual that was fun to drive.

Coming from the 2018 Jetta se. this car is a different beast. With all the bells and whistles you could want the car is responsive, has great handling, and can keep up with other cars. Now the steering is tight but I feel like it can be a bit over the top as the traction is not as good as an all-wheel drive car when going around hard turns at speed you can feel the car skip a little and that is reflected in the steering. Other than that the car is great.

This has to be the best value for the buck in a performance sedan. However, I did not like the $2000 upcharge or the finance terms. The car is a bit quirky. I'm glad it has Apple Carplay, but it's weird that it doesn't have built-in navigation as a backup. Also, there is no ventilation control for backseat passengers. The quality of the trim and interior materials is very good. The driver's seat is very supportive, especially for those of us with back problems. The automatic transmission is a great gift. I have driven sticks for most of my life, but as I have aged and automatics have improved, I am not going back. I can drive and enjoy my morning coffee. I can probably say more but I do love the car and that's what counts.
