That is a nice trailer hitch option, much better then what is offered for the sedans which bolt through the bumper (useless!).
I need to bring the 240 around for you to see sometime...I had it out last week for a bit, toured around and returned 42mpg (6.7L/100km) 430 miles on 45L. Very happy with that. It is just an occasional driver now, Mom has a Golf wagon TDI now as the main car.
