Dropped the car off at the dealer yesterday for the following:
-AC intermittently goes in and out (cold/hot) -- inconsistent pressure in the AC system
-Fan/AC on 3/4 makes a squealing sound -- center vent is being replaced
-iPod connector only plays through left speaker -- replaced cable, didnt work. replacing cable from center console to radio; tearing apart the interior
-Bluetooth quality blows donkey -- no answer yet
-12v/cigarette goes in and out -- they said it works, i'm not sure if its my phone charger or the actual connector
This is what I'm rocking in the meantime:
It's fully loaded which is a nice upgrade from the POS Passat they gave me last time... oh, and turboooo
My impressions
Interior: GTI is definitely nicer, miss my side seat bolsters, like the parking button
Exterior: Nice looking little SUV/crossover
Handling: Feels like a boat/SUV. I don't care for it. At all.
Performance: Needs a tune! haha. But serious, it's not terrible. The auto trans sucks. It is very numb and not as smooth as I was expecting.
Conclusion: It is a smooth car to drive. Very comfortable. I could see owning one in the future when I have a family. Add a tune, and it would be a nice addition.
