Don't get electronic ANYTHING with ANY volkswagon. Not even windows.
If you ski at all I strongly discourage the 2x4 pickup.
If I bought a new car today it would be a diesel.
You don't need 4x4 often, but when you do, you are damn happy to have it.
If you do have 4x4 it will be YOUR rig that gets taken to Canada to get thrashed in the Ghost/Waiparous/decommissioned logging road/ice-covered creek/etc/etc
I recommend a minivan.
