Only a month into ownership, I've come to the conclusion that the MK7 GSW is the favourite of all the cars I've owned. It is quiet, comfortable, versatile, handles well and is very responsive given the outstanding fuel efficiency. I particularly like the huge list of small detail features and intuitive nature of the controls. The Ford Escape (below) was terrible in that regard.
In addition to 20+ motorcycles, the list of four wheelers I've owned over the years is 1952 Ford F1 pickup (bought in 1977), 1964 Chevy Corvair (1980) 1982 Dodge Aries, 1988 Jeep YJ, 1996 Dodge Ram van, 1993 Subaru Impreza wagon, 1995 Subaru Legacy wagon, 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo, and a 2011 Ford Escape inherited from my wife.
Of that list the Fiat was pure fun but the Legacy was the best long-term daily driver. The Legacy was incredible in deep snow, even with all season tires, but I expect to make up for that with dedicated winter tires in the VW.
I'm looking forward to a long relationship with the GSW.
