Those should have the 2.0 tsi engine. Which vw put in everything including the Audi. While they are very hot engines, long term reliability is nonexistent. Timing chain tensioners, plastic water pumps that blow out the O-ring (recall/extended warranty on them), intentional under sizing of the oil rings for less resistance on the earlier years. I'm not sure if the new ones have a fuel filter, and they take premium.

If the car is a drive till the wheels fall off purchase, I would look for a different engine combo. If you're not going to put many miles on it. Go for it.
