 This car continues to impress me! I have the SE with the Performance Package and Lighting Package and 6 Speed manual and it was love at first test drive. My only hesitation was buying another VW product-I had three VW's starting with a Jetta GT back in 1996, a '99 New Jetta, and a 2002 Passat, which were ALL problematic. But that was then, and this is now. After putting over 13K HARD miles on the car (a couple of cross-Texas and cross-country jaunts), as well as in constant stop and go traffic here in Houston, I can honestly say I have had ZERO issues. No interior trim pieces breaking off, no squeaks and rattles, and no engine issues. The EPC light did come on once when I started up the car. I shut the car off, then cut it on again, and proceeded to start a 250-mile road trip right after, and the issue never resurfaced. The Apple CarPlay works flawlessly, and there are even cool performance monitors (like measuring G-forces, etc, and a program that tells you how to increase your fuel economy-it even grades you on your progress. And of course, the handling, braking, and engine power are top notch. This car keeps growing on me, and my VW dealership experience (both in Austin and in Houston) have both been top notch, with far better service than I had with my Mercedes or Audi. My only complaint is that the rims are easy to scratch on the curb if you are a terrible at parallel parking like myself LOL.
