April 30, 2024Awesome vehicle!!! After buying, we drove it 2200 miles home in 2 days. The car was comfortable and exceeded all expectations. We even got between 32 and 38 MPG at 70-80 MPH. All the little extras VW put into this car were well worth the money! Glad we got this one!!!
July 17, 2023Great car. Most fun car to drive. Handles well and great ride quality. The more I drive it the more I love it.
December 29, 2020This car is fantastic! I love it, it is so fun to drive and has all the features that were advertised. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the dealership added extra expenses at the end and the price advertised did not end up being the final price.
January 3, 2023The car is amazing with great modding potential lol rip v8’s

October 22, 2020First car I bought from a dealership and I don’t regret anything. Very reliable and nice performance.
