Don't listen to all the negativity. Yes, VWs have been the butt of many jokes and will be going through trials and facing several lawsuits. I used this time to check prices. Since I was already in the market for a new car, I had an idea of what this car already cost. However, after the emissions scandal was made public, the prices of these cars dropped fairly significantly (~5%). I was intrigued to learn this. Since I was purchasing a non-diesel car, I figured I was safe - and I was right. This car is great. After a test drive and a statement from the state saying that this car was good to go, I purchased the car at an amazing price. I haven't looked back either. It's sporty, it's fast, and it makes me feel great. The car rides as loud or quiet based on how I am driving. It gets great gas mileage and is safe. Although VWs typically have great resell values, I could see this being an issue years down the road. However, the money I saved off the purchase price will more than compensate the end cost. I am very happy that I bought this car.

I'm Pretty satisfied with my car. It's safe, reliable and practical.
