Pros

Best car for price in class.

Cons

I do have one small rattle... and the gas mileage could be better

Love The Car! — It has great acceleration and torque for the price point. It has a wonderful interior, though I would like leather seats. Love the interior lighting. This car is a lot of fun to drive, could get a little better gas mileage.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros

Performance, safety, and exhaust note

Cons

No arm rest and the placement of the audio aux in and the power supply for my ipod

I Love This Ride — This is best performing, safest and satisfying car I have ever owned. The 170 hp is fantastic and I love the torque. That straight 5 rocks, but it's thirsty at the pump. Overall, a great car. VW does it again.

Almost Love — Really like this car, you never have to worry about having enough power going up hills or passing trucks because this little bunny has a lot of kick. The only annoying thing I've noticed is a bit of a delay from a full stop when you hit the pedal. Build quality is solid, independent suspension is great, you can really hug the corners. It's practical too with a lot of space in the rear hatch. As everyone says, fuel economy could be better but it's a trade-off between mileage and power.

My First New Car — I am a believer in the quality of German engineering. The car came on a boat over to the USA from Germany. This car has everything I was looking for. Even better, the dealership didn't try to pull one over on me. The gas mileage is fantastic.
