 This is a great car!  Buy it.  It gets better gas mileage than my mini cooper S. Its fast, corners wonderfully.  Is a great family car for 5.  Its a GTI with kids. I still don't know why people buy minivans. Its hard to keep it under 95.  Had it for a year without any regrets. Oh by the way, either get a manual transmission, or ride a bicycle instead.
