I bought it a month or more back. It is very satisfying to drive. Just back from a trip to arkansas,, texas and NOLA. I had a milestone in my driving experience of settint the cruise on 90 to keep up with traffic. No fuss....though its actually doing 85 at that point.

I had two road only tanks fill up, one got 27 mpg with some winds and the other 28 running 75 to 85 corrected for the error. Steering brakes and handling excellent, ride firm but very controlled. A pleasure to drive.

After vw bought back my jetta diesel wagon I searched at length and decided on this with diesel. I had to put in another 5K over what they gave me for my wagon.
