I've got a '23 VW. Fluid smells sickenly sweet, like burning antifreeze. I'll be glad when it's gone.
Cons: sickly sweet smell, unpleasant odor

The washer fluid factory fill is awesome. Nothing dissolves bug guts on glass like that stuff. My reservoir was filled with only the factory fluid all of last winter, and it never froze up or clogged. The strong alcohol smell of the factory fluid got me a breathalyzer test at a RIDE check once.
Pros: dissolves bug guts, never froze
Cons: strong alcohol smell
If you have cold weather as I do where freezing is a concern, I use VW OEM washer concentrate purchased from Deutsche Auto Parts. I can confirm this is the OEM fluid fill - smells exactly the same, works the same, etc.
Pros: smells the same, works the same
