Performance - Has no power,acceleration terrible and really horrible to accelirate on high speed, brakes well and handles very well on the 16" tyres. Build Quality - Is ok, but a little bit of squeaks/rattles. Appearance - looks pretty good. Cost of Ownership – Very low gas mileage, but high maintainance. Fun Factor – It is fun to drive it on gravel and ice, but it is djust to powerless.Jan 21, 2009

This is my car and has over 205k on it. It runs almost like new and still smokes the competition. It's the most fun in winter; it being front wheel drive, it handles unbelievably in snow. However, the weight distribution isn't perfect and is front heavy. My Wolfsburg is exactly a GTi with the exception of it being 4-door instead of 2- and there is no VR6 option. It's got an ABA, which is a SOHC inline-4 with 1981cc of displacement, kicking 115 hp and 130 lbs/foot torque but trust me; it feels like much more! It's not the most aerodynamic car on the road lol but I think it's the coolest car ever. But don't take my word for it; it's my first car and I love it to hell. The boxy-style doesn't please every one. Reliability isn't perfect. I've had a few things break since I've had it and the electronics would need some revising but overall, this is an awsome car! German cars rule!Jan 04, 2008
