A great reliable sturdy build car. the Sport wagon can haul a lot of stuff. the seats are very comfortable for long distance driving. the Engine is silky smooth and quiet. I drive the 5 speed manual and the gear shift is great. has a great feel to it and very forgiving, great amount of low end torque making shifting very seamless and smooth. I recommend the 5 speed manual over the automatic transmission. Its a German car the built quality is next to none and the car feels very sturdy. It has about 103K km and all that was done to the car was regular scheduled maintenance, brakes replaced and a set of new tires.
The only negative aspect is personal one as i wish it had a little more power.
