Fast!  Fun! Quality! Exclusivity!  All wrapped up in a WAGON!  Love the interior touches: cool red and blue lights, pull up sun shades for back windows, FAST turbo engine, great gas mileage, room for 5.  I could go on and on about how much fun it is to drive.  While I don't use the shift paddles on the steering wheel or the Tiptronic too much, I love dropping the automatic into SPORT mode and punching it---throws you in the back into your seat and surprises those around you who only see a station wagon.  A wolf in sheeps clothing

Pros: Not everyone has one.  Gas mileage, good looks, comfort
Cons: Wish it were a little quieter and wish the automatic lift gate could be closed without having to press the button on the hatch.  Depreciation

I think it's a very elegant car, and has a gorgeous appearance!! But it's also a sport car, definetly it's an amazing car that mixes the sport and the luxury class!
It has a sport biult, but in it has got a luxury stile!
It's the car that i've ever wanted to have!

Pros: It has all what I want in a car!
Cons: It hasn`t got any!

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.

Pros: EVERYTHING... well almost
Cons: No Aux connector for audio system. Not as quick as my previous car. Not as frugal as expected.
