Fuel economy

For a car of that size, the fuel economy is dismal. I get about 19 in the city, which is where most of my driving is done. That is marginally better than any SUV.

Materials & workmanship

Compared to my previous car, a GTI, the interior is cheap - lots of plastic. The exterior paint is thin, and highly susceptible to scratches and chips.

Audio & nav systems

The head unit is weak, especially when using the auxiliary plug for an iPod. The volume has to be cranked up to get a moderate volume level from the iPod.

Dealer practices

I had 2 wheels damaged during routine maintenance, and it took months to get those repaired/replaced. The dealership where the car was purchased had only one person I wold deal with again - the finance guy.
