My favorite car!

I have owned many luxury vehicles, including Japanese makes and European vehicles. While this VW is not considered a luxury crossover, it is very close to it! It's a comfortable ride, very quiet, and looks beautiful! The 4 cylinder turbo offers enough power to get you up to speed in a hurry, but it is no speed racer. Overall, a great road trip or family vehicle.

Most reliable car I’ve owned

I think this car is great, it drives smooth, very spacious, it comfortably fits 7 people. Love the color and turbo and is great with gas mileage.

Would only recommend this car to my enemies

40k into ownership and all the tires are cupped (tires rated at 70k). We had it in VW for every scheduled service tire rotation and the dealer could not determine a cause for the tire failure. BTW tires are not covered by any sort of warranty so we were left footing the bill to replace the tires and align at $300 on a car we have had for 18 months. $1150 bucks and we were out the door.

Antoher excellent VW

Having owned VWs for over 40 years, I can honestly say, this one is one of the best! I also own a Passat TDI and love it, but this one is much more roomier, and stable in bad weather. My wife loves it.

Beautiful car

This car meets my needs, excellent leg room, it’s a certified car but everything in it was clean like it just rolled from the factory. I’m very happy with all the extras I’m getting use to using.

Car has some problems with the remote start.

I am happy but wish it was more powerful. The car seems to have problems with the transmission some times it works some times it waits for a while.
