 Fun car, has plenty of kick when you punch it, not my GTO, but hey. This is the first turbo car and VW that I've voluntarily bought, and it was worth it. We just drove back from the mother- in-law's, 489 miles. There was still over a quarter tank of gas left, that rocks! Couple design features I'm not crazy about, but later, fun car, great utility, kind of a rough ride for a larger car, but moves like a smaller car. Suspension is kind of mushy, no slaloms anytime soon. Sounds sweet with an aftermarket intake!!!
