"A high cost nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine vibration at 900-1100 RPM.
Rear tweeter blown at delivery.
Rear tweeter rattle (fixed 4 times).
Paint is peeling off the rims.
Dealer is horrible.
Front console rattle (fixed 3 times).
Driver's door creeks (bad door locks).
Doors freeze shut when wet in winter (live in Canada).
Leather seats wear poorly.
Front floor mats wear out prematurely (2nd set).

Worried about the 2 year warrantee.
General comments?
Do not shop at Oakville Volkswagen, don't buy this car.
