It's a sweeter, smoother engine than the Audi V6.  (It's also more compact
but that may not be significant to you.)  Have you driven cars with both

Apart from CAR's "lemon"
story on the Golf VR6, there sem to be few problems with the VR6 engines.
The one in my Passat has certainly been completely fault-free for 50,000
km now.
