2.0 DCR 170 GT DSG

The new baby finally arrived after a long, long wait! Just clocked over 1000, and starting to stretch her legs a bit... Sounds lovely (for an oil burner anyway), pulls well, getting 45 mpg overall so far. This is my first VW, after a 325 Coupe, and a 530d Tourer, so it's rather different!
Pros:
Looks fab; drives beautifully; feels solid; wants to go; good fuel return (for a not very economical driver); nice interior, even though cloth; entertainment system good, and flexible; dsg is a dream (compares well to steptronic on my previous Beemer's); looks fab
Cons:
Bit of wind noise; should have specced xenons; not much of a rear view; touch screen options for nav, music etc can be fiddly (but I was used to the iDrive on the Beemer, the Rocco is just not quite so intuitive)
Looking forward to plenty of long runs - I clocked 55k in 2 years in my 530d, so the Rocco will get tested...
