I love it!!!

About 400 miles so far. The car feels solid and really pulls well. Except for the occasional mistake of hitting 4th instead of 6th (this is my first 6-speed manual) I have no complaints. The car feels quality to me and even though I have the base model TDI it feels like the perfect combination of sporty and luxury at a well under 30k price tag.

The stereo in the base model is much better than I expected and is adequate for me. I have my tomtom lifetime maps XXL for navi.

It looks like the base model has the rain sensors in the rear view mirror! I must admit I was a bit fearful going into this with all the new emissions equipments etc. but I am not at all regretful after having made this purchase.

Congrats. I've yet to find an unhappy owner.

Rain sensors? I haven't looked, but...I don't think so...

yeah mine's got about 500 miles on it now and I absolutely love it and its my first new car.

I took the big S curve on the 101 heading into Hollywood on sunday at about 95 mph (still doing about 40 mpg) and the car is just so composed on the freeway it just didnt care.

a great car.

however, I dont plan on mine ever being in the rain..... not sure how thats going to work out
