Pros: Styling, Interior roominess, handling and stability (a bit choppy)Mileage, ease of driving, quality materials
Cons: Seat adjustment controls are too quirky, could use some chrome/rubber dress up along "running boards"

This is the third newer VW we have owned; we also had a 2002 Golf (great car!) and a 2001 Cabrio convert. And we've probably owned about a dozen old Beetles over the years. So we are quite familiar with VWs. This is one of the "funnest" cars we have ever ...
