Welcome Darren
I’ve had a mk8 for 18 months now and (touch wood) it’s been fine. A few glitches but no horror stories here as yet. I’ve very seldom kept a car this long without at least considering its replacement so it must be doing something right!
I don’t use some of the features that people do find problematic but the car in general has been as I’d expect from a VW.
I’d advise putting up a thread in the mk8 section asking for other people’s experiences as they’re quite varied.
