For the most part I love my 2013 Jetta wagon (TDI). I like that it uses the golf suspension instead of the jetta sedan suspension. I love the way it drives, I've put 120k miles on it. The steering has good feel, shifter has good feel, clutch is really easy to drive.

I do have some gripes:
The giant sunroof has creaked and groaned since day one.
The AC sucks and is getting worse (last time in for service they checked the pressures and it tested fine). It uses a swashplate design in the compressor instead of an oldschool clutch setup, and I think its faults are caused by a sensor.
I run moderately aggressive tires, and it has a lot of road/wind noise. Combining this with a not great mic for the bluetooth setup makes in car phone calls annoying.

I'll be selling mine back to VW. If you get one and want a set of H&R coilovers and VMR v710 wheels, let me know.
