I have a 2007 3.0 Diesel with 8K miles, but the experience is marred with too many annoying 'features':
Vibration in drivers seat especially at idle; NOTE the passenger seat was loose and needed repair - there is also a RECLL/SERVICE NOTE on the underseat wiring
Telephone
Bluetooth recently fails to connect to the phone displaying ‘Voice input error’
Downloads sms every time and requests acknowledgement
Traffic button
Does nothing on either setting in the UK. recent rrip to Holland unleashed loads of info - Why not here VW?
Vehicle button
Says tire pressure monitor not installed, but will do nothing else
Garages do not understand the service indicator options
AC
When set to manual (open vents), the passenger side goes back to auto when the car is turned off, drivers side stays in manual
Navi
Can not find any Volkswagen dealers
Hardly displays any road names / information
very poor compared to the DVD option available in other models
Boot
Often fails to open automatically – needs manual lift (very heavy)
Does not respond to touching the badge to open
It takes a very long time after starting before you can select the defrost or rear window heating
It takes a very long time after starting before you can use the telephone
The windscreen has marked quite badly from the left hand wiper in front of the driver already Hardly the luxury experience described in the sales brochure. The 'Luxury Car Support Help desk' seems fairly ineffectual.
