The car handles well, I like the feel of it, but man does it fall apart a lot. I have put well over 50% of its value back in to it for repairs. Being a foreign car I should have seen high prices, but man 250 bucks to do a tune up on a stock car?

Pros — Handles well
Cons — Costs a lot to repair

Overall I love this car, however I do wish I would have sprung for the 1.8T or the VR6. With a miserly 115 hp this is not a performance car. I do like the pick-up it has in the 65-80 mph range. It's the 0-60 pick-up I wish I had more of.
The interior is roomy enough and decently laid out. I don't like the Soft-Touch interior, it is rubbing off.
The 2.0L engine "used" oil (1 qt per 100 miles) which was enough to ruin my engine over the first couple years I owned it. I had new rings put in to solve the problem, no more used oil...oh, and switched to synthetic at about 100K miles.
Gas mileage is adequate, about 28-30 mpg highway. Which is nice because the cost of repairs seems to be slightly higher than other cars.

Pros — Looks, Interior (except rear seats), MPG, trunk space.
Cons — Engine, although newer models are better

it doesnt have much power because my model is the 2L 115hp engine, but it still feels quick and responsive. has power windows and locks, heated seats and a/c. the dashboard lights look killer. id say its a great first car

Pros — great on gas
Cons — not much power

great car for an everyday driver or someone looking for some kick to their ride. Even simply being a 2.0L 115 HP engine, it still give a good amount of kick hen the pedal is pressed. The 1.8T engine is perferred, but also a higher base price. but roughly receiving 25 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, and German engineering and reliability, its great for anyone looking for a good time without burning too much of a hole in their wallet.

Pros — Good feel, responsive engine, sleek interior, smooth ride, all around quality ride
Cons — Some plastic cosmetic parts pron to breaking, the 2.0L could have more power compared to Mazda 3 or Subaru Impreza.
