Jordan N
Reviewed a 2018 Volkswagen 2.0T S 4-Door FWD on Jun 17, 2025
All the cars features for the price point are amazing! CarPlay, a sunroof, adaptive led headlights, the list just goes on and all that for under 20k is amazing. I will add that the ac could be a little colder but my specific vehicle has no tint. Also for a “performance car” the engine is very quiet and I don’t like the “soundaktor” feature which plays false engine noise into the cabin from the speakers. I’d compare it to a Mazda speed 3, a wrx, or gr86.
