Hello TDI friends,
I am trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and get back into a TDI again. The family had 2 TDI Passats that we sold back and I replaced one with a 2017 Passat SE w/technology. Been a good car so far but while at the dealer getting some filters I seen a Red SportWagon that was quite sharp looking. I think they wanted right around 20K for it. My Passat is paid off but I think I will end up getting less for the Passat them the SportWagon will cost. I know in the long run the diesel will pay off but that would be long term.
I commute about 140 miles a day so I miss the TDI for that aspect alone. I like the room in the Passat but it is not often that I have the whole family with me in the car. I do have a MegaCab Ram if I have a long trip and need large roomy back seat for passengers.
How is the SportWagon for comfort in a long ride? I haven't drove it yet maybe this weekend. I am also a 6'1" 240lb guy. I did sit in it and leg room was fine.
Any SportWagon guys here that made the switch from a Passat? Thanks for any help or opinions as I am all over the place with this decesion..
