 If this car were more reliable, (or at all reliable), I would be completely satisfied with it.  It has a great interior with plenty of useful features and a good design. I love the look of the outside as well. BUT, this car has been nothing but trouble since the day I got it.  It is in the shop AT LEAST once a month, and repairs on German cars are expensive! The check engine light is basically on more than it is off.  Make sure you have a lot of money to spare and an extra car if you decide to buy a Volkswagen!
