I agree with KingGrimlock. The first time transforming it requires a little patience, and you may want to watch a video to help, but it's fine. You end up with a very cool looking, heavy VW that is large and round, and yet his robot form is slender and all tucked away.
I think it's fun and they've done a good job with it.

I also did not enjoy the transformation from robot to VW mode, particularly when compared to MPM-3 Bumblebee. It was a pain to get all the panels lined up at the end and I think the waist was rubbing a little when I rolled it. While for others it seems to get easier I'm not really one for practicing Masterpiece transformations.
Having said all that, I love how this looks and feels in both modes so am still glad to have received it as a Christmas present. Particularly having seen and enjoyed the movie.
