    2015 VW Golf TDI SportWagen Concept: New York Auto Show Debut

    Although it seems VAG never makes the right decisions, I think they will bring this concept for sure, and here is why. The A4 has always been the excuse not to bring the AWD JSW, the A4 is coming in diesel, the avant is gone with no pending return that I have heard of, and now you must buy an...

    2014 JSW availability...and full MSRP?

    Pete, the Interlago's are 18's and look super sexy, I think the ride issue I had with the GTI was do to the short wheelbase. I undertsnad the life change, we have twins and yes, it changes the necessities in the garage. The ultimate upgrade is to drop the Autobahn seats into the JSW, I did it...

    2014 JSW availability...and full MSRP?

    Having owned both, the JSW is a much better ride, doesn't perform like the GTI, but rides nicer. I always felt like my wife's Autobahn was a bouncy car on the highway and do not feel that in the JSW. If you want to see a good looking JSW, look for a pic of one sporting the interlago's from the...

    Brake issue before being warmed up...

    I never brought it in for this, but I certainly can say my 2011 did just what you describe, every once in a while it was as though the brakes didn't exist. It seemed random and not related to a specific circumstance, but I can validate your observation.

    2015 Sportwagen Info

    That price increase would be a surprise, the grand theory of the MQB is cost efficiency based on the commonality of the core of the vehicle across models. I would assume if it has new offerings as it relates to luxury etc, that will increase the price, but in theory the base should not increase...

    2015 Sportwagen Info

    You may be right about new production models, but the 7 will have been built for a long while before we see it, seems the bugs should be worked our pretty well at that point. So far I have been in the TSX wagon for 2 months and am OK with it, but missing the sportwagon as overall I think it was...

    Will these wheels/tires fit my Sportwagen

    I sold my JSW a couple of weeks ago and have a set of interlago's for sale if you are interested. PM your number and I can send you some pics, these are hands down the best looking wheel for these cars. I am on the MA/NH border near Amesbury.

    are you sure that was a MK& w/ 4 motion and TDI that you saw? I would like to see more pics as I have not really seen much validation of this model?

    2015 Sportwagen, 6MT, AWD?

    Sales up in TDI or across the board, I read a couple of articles last month that were discussing the broad based models problems for VW and that products like the Passat were not hitting target. In a segment they are probably good, but not sure across the brand here in the states. I could be...

    2015 Sportwagen, 6MT, AWD?

    If they bring either the JSW or the Passat Alltrack with AWD/TDI I will be back in the family. so dar I am enjoying the TSX sportwagon, only 2k into it, something's I like more, some I like less. I really think VWOA has to do something, sales are stagnet or dropping and they will not meet the...

    Alternative to 2013 JSW TDI DSG?

    PS- In 2 years I will likely be in a similar scenario, my hope is that either the Passat Alltrak AWD diesel will be in the states or that the MK7 JSW Will offer enough enhancement that I will come back. As I stated I loved the car and was the first time that I really questioned letting a car go...

    Alternative to 2013 JSW TDI DSG?

    Food for thought, I broke down yesterday and relinquished the JSW TDI, I had hit 90K with the car loved every minute of it, but was at the point where value was still good and I could get out of it in a good position, the HPFP did have a small factor in my decision, but it was not huge. I looked...

    Should my JSW stay or go?

    My hit is minimal, no more than $700 inequity and am considering a new CC which I will get almost a 7K discount on, so those numbers work OK IMO. I love the JSW and would drive it another 100K plus if it isn't stricken by failure. I don't mind over the course to spend the money for maintenance...

    Should my JSW stay or go?

    Ok all, I am not trying to stir the same old conversation on HPFP, but I am coming up to 90k on my 2011 JSW. I am considering trading now as I have a decent trade value and it won't hurt much at this point. In a couple of months that will not be the case. I love the car but in the back of my...

    New fuel filler update **warning**

    So I felt compelled to come back to this today. I went to fill up again last night and yes, slow is an understatement, it semd it was frothing up 1/2 gallon into the fill and from there it went way down hill. I caled the dealer and they said VW recommends holding the handle parralel to the door...

    New fuel filler update **warning**

    I was not impressed when they did not ask if I wanted this done, and just did it! That being said, about 6-7 fill ups later, I have only had a problem once at a Irving station, the other 5-6 fills has been normal. I do feel as though I cannot top it off as much as I use to be able to and as a...

    Golf R seats installed....

    I swap the seats from my wife's Autobahn GTI out when we drive to florida. It makes for a much better ride, i generaly like my JSW seats, but over a long ride these seats are superior. Agreed, it took an hr or so, both cars usually require recoding. The biggest diffference IMO is that the base...

    Brake fluid change

    Excuse me if I am ignorant, but how often does this really need to be done. it seems the service interval is 20k miles. Has something changed over the years as I do not recall ever having this requirement with such frequency. My car is 2 years old this weekend (73k), if I follow the...
