I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.
I also like General snow tires. I’ve personally used general 365aw on cars and minivans with no complaints.
I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem
We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.
I also put the General’s on my Civic because I liked them on her Camry.
I’ve run General AS07 on my Fit before stepping up to dedicated summer tires and I definitely recommend an ultra high-performance all season.
I have these on my 2022 F150 Tremor with 60,000kms and I'm thinking about studding them...
Have them on my Tucson AWD for a couple years in ND... Love them! Haven't any issues and have about 20k miles on them now and when I rotated them a few weeks ago they were still 8.5-9/32 tread.
I currently have a set of nexen hp 265/35/r22 102v on my truck and 2 of the tires are splitting in the sidewalls..but I've had them almost 7 years and the tread still holding strong. Smooth ride its just the two with sidewall splitting
bought 4 nexen tires for my nissan sedan, read a couple of I suspect fake reviews and had them installed. The whole set, worst tires iv ever seen, I remember thinking how light they were when I picked them up, didnt think much more until I started having flat after flat. Got rid of them on the day of the 3rd flat.
