I finally gave in to my lust for the vr6 noise and got one at the start of last year, with a years' VW used approved warranty.
The engine's great, so much torque even from 1000 rpm, you can comfortably sit in 5th at 30mph and the car never feels like it's labouring.
It's never used a drop of oil in all the time I've had it and I've averaged 28mpg in the past 6 or so months, expect 40-60 miles to a tenner of petrol
On that note however, it's a good job I had the warranty, as the rear diff decided to give up the ghost at 51k miles (replaced at a cost of £3500) probably due to previous harsh treatment and possibly incorrect oil change procedure (worryingly common mistake by VW workshops getting the Haldex oil and rear diff oil levels confused)
I also had the water pump replaced under warranty at 53k as it had begun to squeak on idle (bearings on way out).
Apart from that, I've loved it!
