much to my surprise, the motor has not burned a drop of oil in the first 50,000 miles (I change the oil every 5000 miles).
Pros: not burned a drop

My car uses about 0.5 qts of oil every 5000 miles. I think castrol 5W 40 is the best oil for this car.
Pros: best oil for this car
Cons: uses about 0.5 qts
just replaced 4 year old battery in my 2010 Wagon. It was not really a rocket science but it was nice to have a write up nonetheless. The biggest issue for me was to figure out group size for my battery: supposedly both 47 and 48 work but I wanted to get an exact model. After some online research and hard measurements it was clear my current battery was group size 48. Went with Bosch from Pep Boys for 108 (with tax and after 30% coupon). Despite the car being without the battery for 8+ hours, I had no issues with codes, errors, etc. The only thing I needed to adjust was the time.
Pros: no issues with codes, good price
Cons: difficult to find group size

As for tires, I went with the Yokohama YK580s sold only at Discount Tire and have been pleased. Put them on the van and the Passat and very happy with the results. Similar specs to Michelin Primacy tires, but better cost.
Pros: better cost, improved OEM
Cons: squeak when turning wheel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat

He went with Bilstein shocks/struts (TC) and MK3 VR6 Neuspeed SofSport springs. About 1 finger of wheel gap all the way around on 15" Steelies with 205/50's. Looks pretty good.
Pros: looks pretty good

Another vote for the Continental DWS... I have had them for front tires on my '06 for about a year..only reason I haven't replaced the stock rears is because they still have tread left at 73K!(they are Michelin Primacys which are a nice tire but only under dry or wet conditions..tread life is awesome, but they're terrible in snow)
Pros: awesome tread life
Cons: terrible in snow

The OEM windshields are very weak and prone to rock chips. My 07 3.6 4motion wagon got several chips within the first year of owning it. my 08 3.6 4motion wagon also got a chip within the first month of owning it. My BMW 328i have been hit harder (i.e. going faster speeds) and never had a chip. the shop that patched both of my wagons up said they work on many vw's with chips. They say VW uses a thinner glass to lower the weight, thus causing it to chip easier.
Cons: very weak, prone to chips, thinner glass

I compared the dimensions of both batteries (stock vs Optima) and the Optima is shorter, skinnier, but like 1/4 wider. Optima did not fit, or would not fit without modification to the positive terminal. Ordered the OEM from Keffer.
Cons: Optima did not fit
