For my TDI it's literally just a standard oil change, and then fuel filter every 20k miles. Hardly an additional burden.
Pros: hardly additional burden

Pros: dual clutch system
Local VW dealer did the belt, pump, rollers, tensioners with OEM parts and it cost $1700 bucks.

My Mk7 GTI has a plastic pan and everyone lost their minds when VW did that from the metal pans on the Mk6. That said, I haven't heard any issues with them and the people who HAVE broken them on track and hitting crap in the road would've demolished the same metal pan anyway. Over 120k miles on mine and almost 9 years with the car and it hasn't kept me up at night, so I can't imagine it's that big a deal. Plus, living in the salt belt (northeast PA) it's just one less thing to rust out.
Pros: one less thing to rust

Volkswagen

Similar here. EPC light on intermittently. Diagnosed as a failed wastegate. The fix was a replacement turbocharger.
Cons: failed wastegate

For example I have a 2017 GTI and the oil level sensor is broken. It is $300 to replace. Technically it is pretty cheap to replace if I do it myself but I am lazy. Little things like oil level sensors are why some people call VWs picky.
Pros: cheap to replace myself
Cons: sensor is broken, $300

My mk7 water pump went out at 76k and will probably need to be done soon I’m at 135k now. I live in the heat of arizona too. It really gets tested here.
Cons: failed at 76k miles, prone to failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 76000 km
The water pumps are plastic. Heat and plastic don’t go well together. My MK6 has had at least 3 water pumps and sitting at 120k.
Cons: plastic material, frequent failures
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 120000 km
Being a technician I really dislike them multiple have come in needing a new head gasket by 20k the rear brakes possibly due to VW changing their brake pad material will be almost at the backing plate by 15k
Cons: head gasket issues, rear brakes wear

Mileage: 20000 km
