Perfomance: I got the 1.9 diesel motor with 105 BHP and it's just a little less for this car.
Build Quality is very good no issues there
Appearance, although I love the Audi interior more this is quite OK, the exterior is quite nice.
Gas Mileage is ok but I guess there are cars who can do better.
The car is not a car with a high fun factor it's to big for that :)

Great drive, well its German!! Pretty nice acceleration, well thats why the turbo is there!!! Nice accessories, great interior... Very comfortable... The maintenance is unexpectedly cheap, but honestly not made for the gulf!!! Mostly importantly its very safe, 10 airbags are more than enough... Buy it, bought it n never sellin it... :D

Never knew how much a value-for-money proposition a German car could be. The 1.8T cost about the same as a Japanese Executive sedan, but with all the fancy gadgets and functions of a much more expensive German Saloon.

Nothing to look at, but it is wonderful to be within. Soft touch materials abound, with a perfectly pleasant alcantara sports seat with electronic 12-way seat + 4 way lumbar adjustment for both front seats (3 memory settings for the driver's seat), automatic tilt down passenger mirror for parking, seats and mirror adjustments are tied in to the individual drivers' key fobs, which is also part of the keyless entry "kessy" start/stop engine ignition system.

The electric auto dimming mirrors, electric rear window shade, electric parking brake, auto-hold brakes (no need to keep the brakes depressed at traffic lights) all make for a very pleasant affair. The 10 airbags, ABS, EBD, Traction and Stability Control, as well as the anti-whiplash head restraints, keep all occupants in a cocoon of safetiness.

The auto-headlights, wipers, and intuitive controls all make it a better place for the driver who only has to concentrate on the traffic.
And with digital radio as standard, the 6-cd in-dash MP3 player with 8 speakers definitely make it a wonderful place to relax as well.

Illumintated vanity mirrors (for both the driver and the passanger), illuminated legwells, LED rear lights, adjustable headlamps and dashboard lights are something I did not expect....

Loads of interior space (one of the largest in this class), and a huge boot compliment an already very desirable car.

And the VW Singapore experience is definitely second-to-none in the car industry here.

I walked into the showroom to scratch a car off my list.... and ended up buying a car I never really considered in the first place.
