 Rides great and great gas mileage.  However, high maintenance cost and quarter panel rusting at 5 years old.  Started from behind the panel.  I researched this and it is due to a manufacture defect of moisture being in the paint booth when they painted the vehicle...so be careful...sounds like poor quality control for paint.  They claim to have a 12 year corrosion warranty but when I brought to the dealer they wouldn't honor it.  Due to rust and high cost of ownership, I will not buy another VW.
