I think we all trust that the lower center of gravity and outstanding reaction time will save our butts. I'm in no hurry to find out. Glad you're okay . 
Would love to see someone take a totaled S (from a rear ender or something) and test the windshields strength.
I'm sure you have seen the pictures of S's that have rolled and their windshields are only just bent.

Glad to hear you're ok. Hopefully they find the dbag who caused this and you can go after his insurance.
Were you ticketed or were the witnesses words enough to convince the officials that it wasn't your fault?

I'm also glad you came out of the accident without major injury. I will also echo the comments regarding VW's being built like tanks. My brother-in-law rolled my sister's Jetta with 3 total passengers and none of them had a scrape.
