high rpms

my question is at crusing speeds is it normal for it to be at or around 3300rpms@70mph...this seems kinda high to me but some people say its normal cause of the gear ratio..some say no that i should have it checked would love to get a real answer. i have also heard that it may not have an overdrive? this would be my first vw but so far i love it but its really making me nervous to drive past 70 any real info would be great

This seems about normal, especially without overdrive.  I would not worry about it.
