The vehicle was average looking. The vehicle has an average build (as far as the interior and exterior goes). But the vehicle itself was a solid performer and great on fuel. It was highly competent in bad weather and in snow. The overall design of the car was plain. Its okay that it was plain it's not a sport car. The interior was very simple which is nice too. The only thing I had trouble with is the GPS nav system which was hard to use and often the software was out of date. I had no trouble with the vehicle that wasn't resolved immediately by VW. It had an electrical harness problem at 300 miles and it was resolved right away and no other issues occurred with the vehicle. The engine was very fun to drive. Not only was it nice to drive, but it was so good on fuel. The TDI is unfortunate because its a great punchy engine and so economical. But the emissions problem is kind of hard to ignore. It's a real shame they had to pull these from the market. I hope Volkswagen redevelops a small diesel vehicle again so I can get another one when I need a new car.
