Great car. Handles excellent for a fwd, the power is great for an economical 4-cyl, and the dsg tranny is like Gran Turismo in real life! This is a great all- around car, good mileage, fun, classy, and comfortable.

The performance aspect of the car is great. It has enough horsepower and just a little under my expectations on torque. Getting off the line the car screams trough the first 4 gears with alot of pull. The build quality is great. Couldn't have asked for a quieter yet smoother ride than my previous car. the appearance is great to me, yet could use a lower front facia and sleek side skirts stock to enhance it even more. This car is fun to drive, it's able to handle the turns i throw at it withthe traction control settign on. If you want to be an enthusiast for european cars this is it. It's well worth the $ to have this car, than a POS toyota, honda or chevy sports car.

I bought my car about 6 months after it was released... its still running well after 20k miles or so. It turns heads... I think it looks sharp and sleek, but it also has open exhaust (except for a 200 cell cat)... Needs a better method for launching and maintaining grip on those key stoplight runs, but other than that, it performs to the best of its ability I havent dynoed, but im guessing 240 whp and around 280-290 wheel lb/ft the interior is perfect...steering wheel looks like from a car 2x its price. The one thing i hated about the looks was the 4x4 suspension, but that was resolved w/ eibach sportline springs--> lowered about 2 inches radio/audio performance is decent for a stock radio... but i added 1 12" rockford sub pumping 500 watts rms and 1000 watts peak and that does it for low end my mods: cosmetic tid bits, springs aformentioned, AWE boost gauge, AWE Turboback exhaust w/o resonator, EVOMS intake, GIAC X+ w/ flashloader, subwoofer, Greddy RS BOV, probably some more...just forgot...

Great power, Great handling, loads of fun to drive. This is my third v-dub, previously I have had a 2006 Passat and a 1996 GTI VR6. Their is just nothing like a volpkswagen in my opinion. The fit and finish is unlike any other car in its class
