Pros: good margin before issues
Cons: freaked out ECU, hard starting

Mine crapped out at 34 months. I bought a new one from VW since they had a 5-year warranty on it and it's still going...
Pros: 5-year warranty, still going
Cons: crapped out early
OEM battery died at 3 years old / 50,000km. Was tested and deemed defective and replaced for free. Replacement OEM battery is currently 3 years / 45,000km old and I'm a bit nervous on long trips this winter lol. I got it tested last month out of paranoia and it came back all good.
Pros: replaced for free
Cons: died early, short lifespan
Mileage: 50000 km
