 I bought the car at a 100k miles 3 years ago as my second car at the age of 19. I didn't even know what it was until I found it online and did more research. Coming from a 2011 VW GTI with DSG, I figured I was getting in another 1.8/2.0T VAG product. Little did I know, it has a 2.7L V6 with twin K03 turbos. Mine was a well maintained one owner car with the Tiptronic transmission. Reliability? HAHAHAHA what a joke. I have the most random and smallest issues to fix. And as annoying and expensive as this car is, the feeling it delivers with the turn of the key, irreplaceable. It has a 145k miles now and I have done routine service and I would not hesitate to drive it cross country. Quattro? Pulled up a 3800lbs. 90's Lexus SC400 with a welded rear diff up and STEEP incline with two uneven cracked strips of frozen pavement like it was a feather. And pulled a 4x4 Ram 1500 out of mud. All while being slammed to the ground on H&R springs and blown shocks. Transmission is limiting and will be the ONLY reason I sell this car. I want a 6spd. so I can upgrade turbos but even with an APR Stage 1 tune and a Borla catback, this car pulls and through the entire rpm range. Constant power delivery and complete sleeper. And the sound it makes.......absolutely phenomenal. The interior is incredibly simple yet so elegant in its own way. Every  bit of it feels heavy to the touch with a quality finish. Exterior has the timeless design that still fits in today with modern cars on the road. Will I buy this car again? Absolutely, when I'm not a college student. UPDATE: now at 173k been leaking coolant since before I posted this and still runs strong. Took a hit to the passenger side in a wreck and walked away without even wiplash. Will never buy anything but German.
