Good call. I think you'll enjoy the car, I'm really enjoying mine, the manual shifts really nice, and the leather is well done. Give the seats a little time, and you'll have to lower or turn them off, they do eventually get quite hot. You will also not have that failure prone VW HPFP, and stupid mis-fuel guard in the filler neck that makes it impossible to use a truck pump to fill the car. VW wanted to blame its customers and mis-fueling for the massive HPFP failures, the NHTSA found in it's investigation that VW "mis-stated" it's misfuel percentage by a factor of TEN, and that many cars had failures even with no mis-fuel. VW really screwed up on that pump, and the emissions cheat.. makes me wonder what else in that culture.. The 2012 Jetta I had did have a really weird recall to install a "noise-maker" that would make it obvious for suspension damage in the case of some collision.. in all the cars I have had, it was the weirdest recall I've ever seen.. just strange. makes me wonder what the real issue actually was in that case... now it's no longer my problem.
