 The 2.0T is fun to drive but the automatic tranny is slow on take off and lacks throttle response.  There are a couple of aggravating squeaks in the interior on rough roads but overall interior is very nice quality, just needs some tweaking.  The tail lights are separating within the light fixture and resting on the inner part of the enclosure plastic.  To fix, u must replacing the entire fixture.  Lights look good but are poorly put together.  AC is cold but fan is insufficient to blow/cool even the front of the car in adequate time.  One final note is that the car is fun to drive and the turbo, once spun up, is very responsive.  Every car has its shortcomings and vw is no exception.
