 Pro's: comfortable and fun small SUV but feels more like a you are driving a car. I love the lack of delay in going from gears, the comfort, the sound quality, and the safety of this car. Love Love Love that. Con's: too small to really be considered a compact SUV.  Too low to the ground. Its MPG is not that impressive for its size. The trunk is too small to be considered a "compact SUV".  Change the size of the trunk, and raise the car and I think it would be much more effective.  My Bluetooth does not function correctly and there are issues with some models regarding the fuel injection (or something) but a good dealership will fix it for free, per VW site.  Last complaint is that others have also had issues with the trunk latch malfunctioning ( i have had this too).  No idea what caused this. Total cost to fix is from $125.00-177.00. Overall, this car has a great company behind it, they own up and fix things. The car is safe, comfortable, effective, fun, awesome look, and great for family or the single adventurer. If you know how to drive an SUV you will get more mileage out of the car than what it list.
