 I bought the station wagon new.  I previously owned an M3 BMW and this car has the road feel and gives me as much pleasure as the BMW.  I have an antique shop and can load anything in the car; Hoosier, table and chairs, things that look impossible to fit even into an suv.  The biggest problem with all VWs is the dealerships.  The car is wonderful but my dealings with the dealership have been awful.  The car has had no problems and I only see the dealer for routine maintenance.  The men at the counter are friendly and pleasant but the job always takes twice as long as they say and seem pleased that they only charged an arm and a leg.
