a friend recommended I look for a 2.5 vw sportwagen. he has four of them. with his help, my search began. we located plenty of them powered by diesel, but the 2.5 he recommended was difficult to locate in CT. finally, thanks to cargurus, I located one in nearby Manchester at Yara motors. so far it is better than I imagined. time will tell.Sep 30, 2024

Great style. I have no real complaints with the VW Jetta Wagon. I just wish it were slightly roomier in the backseat. At low speeds on hills, there is a hiccup before it gets into gear. This is eliminated in Sport mode.Dec 30, 2014
