Positives - Performance, Safety, sporty look and feel, 6 speed manual, premium sound and roomy cargo space. Negatives - Premium Fuel, 90 Octane or higher, maintenance is above average, and cabin noise is above average as well due to noise maker in engine compartment.Mar 05, 2015

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 classFeb 14, 2011

Perfect. 6 speed manual makes every gear feel like 3rd gear. H&R springs make cornering a dream. Awesome factory 10 speaker system with 6 cd changer. Even the base model has plenty of safety features like 10 airbags! Had it for over a year now and not ONE thing had needed to be replaced/repaired.Apr 21, 2010
