    2011 JSW/TDI w/pano & goals

    Glad you like it, my wife loves the way it drives she just wanted the three rows for her kiddie transport duties. Frig, I hated to sell it. Hope it serves you well. When I get back to SoFl over the holidays I will find the rest of the paperwork and send it to you. For those on the boards...

    Thanks, great meeting you and am glad the JSW went to someone who will take care of it and appreciate it. The new gig is great, I wish I had retired a long time ago!!

    2011 JSW TDI Pano / Goals FS

    I forgot, I'm out of town right now but will get interior pics on Friday. It is the black VW leather-look stuff. It has the premium package so it has the fancier radio with the factory navigation as well. If you want to see / drive it, will have to work something out. You'll drop 2k to get one...

    2011 JSW TDI Pano / Goals FS

    It sold, what a sad day. I loved that car. All, I had to have to do this but I have to sell my lovely JSW. Frig, it kills me to sell this but I'm moving and part of the deal with my wife was that she'd get a minivan again. I've not shopped this on a trade and will do so but I'd love to sell...

    What's it with fog lights?

    Frig, I wish I could do that. Need a VagCom but am too busy to get one and figure it out. To the OP, the fogs for me are 90% for looks but they do help around neighborhoods at night. I just prefer the look of the OEM lights - the lower lip looks empty without them.

    found my lemon on eBay

    That is what I was thinking. 27k seems to be near full boat for a manual so equipped. Maybe the black leather cost extra. I'm looking at a retiring and moving out of state and my wife has made a new Sienna Limited her price for moving. If I wind up going, I'll sadly have to part with the most...

    Dealer pricing...

    Absolutely. You can see my JSW and Chris delivered it to me exactly like it is except without tint and side molding. He gave me dealer cost on the driving lights and wheels plus I got the factory Pano rims to sell. I've got $625 in the Goals. Frig, pay our local dealer more if you want to, it is...

    Dealer pricing...

    Absolutely, you are only a break-in tank away from exceptional customer service and the best price on exactly what you want. Frig dealing with a dealer that sleazy. Chris will make it happen for you, he certainly did for me.

    from 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid to 2012 JSW TDI

    I have a 2010 Escape Hybrid for a company car. It is horrible to drive, the fit and finish & materials are just gross. In city driving in South Florida, it gets 25 - which ain't so bad. If it weren't free, I'd never have it in my garage. The best thing about it is Ford Sync.

    2011 Sportwagen TDI review

    Nice looking ride, great taste! Nice that Canadian models come with the fogs out of the box.

    3.5 mos and $2000, never again VW...

    I'll take a DSG over their CVT any day of the week.

    500 mile 100% in town tank.

    I'm not getting the lack of love for the DSG, it works great in the traffic I drive in and it is a real great tranny for mountain driving. I love stick but only in a toy, not for a daily driver - particularly not in a urban environment.

    500 mile 100% in town tank.

    Our MPGs are about the same, mine has about 5k of road-trips on it - so that bumped up the average a tad.

    500 mile 100% in town tank.

    Me too, am going to retire from current career and get out of So Fl real soon, just need to get a few things lined up. Getting the JSW was, in part, due to my desire to take family roadtrips in the summers and enjoy the decent MPG while driving something that is fun to drive. Having it in the...

    500 mile 100% in town tank.

    This is my world - ~600 square miles, 1/3 of which is swamp, and 1.7 million people, plus tourists and illegals. It is all stop and go. Cars get lousy MPG in city traffic due to sitting, running at red lights for minutes at a time rather than moving along at 40-70mph. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    500 mile 100% in town tank.

    It must be the cooler weather, my wife is 80% city driving, all stop and go, 15 mile trips over and over. Best tank ever was 37 and that was on a highway trip with a Yakima box on the roof during the summer. City driving routinely delivers 27mpg down here. It beats the 15.1 the Odyssey Touring...

    window tint

    Ouch, I've never had issues with their work. There was one windshield they did for me had fly dung in it and I took it back, they redid it and it came out perfect. I've had several full windshields done there and no issues, even on huge slabs of glass. Tinters know if they screw your car up...
