timing belt every 100k if its an auto DSG you have to do a tranny flush with special tools and equipment to even flush it and the oil is about 20 dollars a quart.


after that its just oil and fuel maintenance. i like mine it gets 42mpg on the freeway.

Oh that's not too bad I'm thinking about getting one for trips and what not any years that I shouldn't get or watch out for? I'm also gonna try to find a standard

i like my 06. but i haven't been in any other ones. the newer ones are pretty quick and they get a little better mpg.
