That's a great car. It's a complete sleeper - it appears as a small econo-box to unsuspecting motorists, but it's really, really quick and can handle surprisingly well for a front-wheel drive car & the interior is up there with Audi/BMW/Mercedes/etc... Parts and labor charges at the dealer are up there also, it is a German car, so keep that in mind. If you cringe at $80 oil changes, do it yourself, or find a mechanic that does VW's.Suggested improvements * bigger battery (Optima Yellow Top should be stock) * cheaper parts/maintenance or OEM replacement parts that are sure of quality.
