I bought this vehicle after my 2009 Volkswagen was destroyed in a hit and run (I was the victim). I walked away with a scratch, and vowed that I'd only ever drive another VW. The VW gets me great mileage, fits all my friends and cargo, and has had zero major issues. Sure, the price is a bit higher, and I have a few style gripes (the seats are starting to fray), but this is MY car. It's part of me.
