I bought a 153K kilometer 81 1.6 GTI and drove it for work to military bases all over Germany. With no restrictions I ran 160-190 kph as much as possible for a few hours at a time. It always used a little oil but I kept it changed with 20W50 dino oil and sold it at 280K still running fine.
Pros: still running fine
Cons: used a little oil

Just wanted to follow up. Took it the dealer. Later that day, they diagnosed the water pump failure, got my green light for repair under CPO warranty (with $50 deductible), and by the end of the same day the car was treated to a new thermostat/water pump. They recycled the coolant they drained and topped it off - a flush would have been extra. Service advisor said they pressure tested everything when I asked about the cap and everything passed. Let's hope this holds up!
Pros: new water pump installed
Cons: coolant recycled

I’m currently running RainX wiper blades on my 13 Jetta with zero issues. Ran them on my old MK4 Jetta too.
Pros: zero issues

So new Bosch plugs and red-top coils seemed worth the $109. Old spark plugs were pretty crusty, which made me feel better about doing it.
Pros: worth the money
Cons: old plugs were crusty

I'm currently running Michelin Premieres on my Jetta. They are great tires, especially in the wet, but don't get near the longevity that they claim. I've put TrueContacts on our old Forester, and was very happy with them. I've also had General Altimax HP's on the Jetta (same category tire), and was happy with those as well. Generals are a great budget tire. They were very quiet, and I'll echo the comment that they feel squirmy at first until all the casing oil gets out of them.
Pros: great in wet, quiet
Cons: poor longevity, squirmy at first

VW is repurchasing my 2017 Alltrack after it spent 45 days at the dealer for repairs in the first 11 months I owned it. Its had a multitude of creaking/squeaking suspension parts - strut mount bearing, end links replaced. The last straw for me was a loud popping when turning the wheel which required an entire new steering rack.
Cons: loud popping when turning

Here's a shot of my rear rotors. They both look like this. To quote my service manager "we looked at some other cars and they all look like this, so this looks like normal wear". Not buying it. My b6 passat has 180K miles and those rotors are super smooth.
Cons: scored rear rotors
