We have had this VW since new in 2012. It is approaching 68,000 miles and has pretty much been trouble free. It has the 2.5 liter five-cylinder engine and never uses a drop of oil between the 5000-mile oil changes.

I've only owned my 2012 for the past year and I've never had an issue with it. I bought it with 25,000. miles and I've driven it all over Florida. Fun car to drive and great on gas.
