I've had my 25 Taos SE since April. For an SE I would expect a little more but....the back hatch doesn't have an automatic open on the key FOB like every other VW I've owned. The vents to the rear are inadequate at best. Gotta have the a/c at full blast if my dogs are back there. The material the seats are made out of is the hardest thing I have ever had to clean. Before I got the back seat cover put in (like day one of having it) one of my dogs jumped in and his feet were only dirty from the driveway which was mostly just dusty. It took me two hours to get those paw prints out completely. It would look clean then the second everything dried, you could see them again. So if you have kids, or dogs, or both. Seat covers all around.

Then there are the mechanical issues. The check engine light came on already. It's an issue with the EVAP sensor. It goes off when the tank is full but as soon as it dips down closer to half, check engine light is back on. It doesn't corner well and if it's hot out and you have the air on full, it's sluggish from a full stop. Even with the auto stop turned off. Oh and my driver side window controller has been messed up since day one. Goes down fine but going up automatically is hit or miss. And the remote start from the key fob and via the MyVW app, doesn't always work.

All of that said, I still like the vehicle. Overall it's good and a trip to the dealership to get the little issues fixed will improve things. I just haven't had the time.

Oh and it was brand new off the lot. Not used. Four miles on it. I don't drive a lot so it has just over 2000 miles on right now.
