Great Car, I'm A Vw Freak — The car is all around great, looks, performance, a quality car from front to back. The gas mileage is good, with a V6 and AWD its about as good as you can get. The car is a lot of fun to drive, with sport mode, and the paddle shifters, there are multiple ways that it can be driven. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Update To Previous Review — I just got back from the local VW dealer where I talked with one of their service managers. Here's the scoop: In the standard drive mode, the timing and fuel mapping is more "conservative" than in tiptronic or Sport modes. This means that when I nail the throttle in the standard mode, the engine management computer gets "confused" briefly because it is expecting a gentle start. If I put it in either of the other two modes, it changes completely. the fastest launches are achieved by using the sport mode, leaving the traction control on and, with one foot on the brake, bringing the revs to 2500. Launching is done by lifting the brake foot and hitting the throttle - no lag, just gone. Owner for 0 years, 1 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 | ||

ProsHandling, Grunt, awsome sound ConsDSG gearbox

Good German Build — I personally do not like the DSG gearbox with the F1 pedals. The sound is the best! The first version that was out a few years earlier is classier buy. They also have manual gearboxes and a nice blue coloured version with full recaro seats. The gas milage is pretty high. The fun factor around the twists and turns is unbelievable. It really sticks to the road in any condition. also great fun in the snow with the 4 wheel drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

A Perfect And Beautifully Engineered German Car. — She is a sporty car. Fast, great on turns, a thrill to ride and i think is a very safe car. The engine rev is amazing and the pick up speed is also amazing. I think the perfect 2 door coupe sports car on the market today.

ProsGreat all-around performance, excellent quality ConsGas mileage isn't so hot, not as fast as other cars in its price range

It's A Vw, So It's Esoteric. If You Aren't A Dubber, You Probably Don't Understand. — Performance isn't mind-blowing, but it's enough to put you back in the seat. Being a heavy AWD car with only 250 HP, it won't be destroying any Mustangs off the line, but it's enough to smoke most cars on the road. The build quality's fantastic - no rattles, solid, quality materials, a GREAT steering wheel - the interior's a great place to spend time. I'm at around 30,000 miles and so far no Warranty issues have come up at all. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Wolf In Sheep's Clothing — good performance, acceleration even in lower RPM for a V6, lovely manual shifting, sporty yet comfortable bucket seats, fantastic & quite aggressive sound for a factory exhaust, suspension a bit too soft and center of gravity should be lower overall a real nice ride for any occasion, understatement pure!
