Bought my 4D S in April. Here's a list:
1) Car had a god awful creak in the roof. The dealer fixed it, but it required pulling the headliner out and I lost about half of the "new car smell" when I got it back. The kid doing the work smelled like gasoline, and so after about a week my car just smelled like a car....not like my first brand new car since 1989.
2) The front doors. I don't like how the detents are arranged, where the first place the door stops is not enough to use for exit or entry, but the next detent is almost 90 degrees open. It's a big reach to get the door handle when it's all the way open, and why have a detent for "all the way open?" How about one for about 65-70% open?
3) Yeah, the buffeting is pretty strong and the aerodynamic "fix" of cracking other windows is a precision affair.
4) The light feeling to all the controls. Sometimes I like this, sometimes it feels too much like an economy car. Either way, I know it hauls ass, but it's just a perception thing.
5) Headlights could be brighter/better (I did not get the lighting package.)
BUT, BY FAR THE WORST THING IS: This thing is so damn good in so many ways it completely spoils me for other cars!!!!! Fast, excellent gas mileage, cargo room, excellent bluetooth, long haul comfortable seats....I could go on all day with the stuff VW got right on this car.
Enjoy!
