Room, yup, lots. Fun to drive?!? Compared to a GSW I found nothing fun about it. I did the same debate, have an Alltrack 6MT on order. I find the Alltrack to be superior in EVERY way other than cargo space. I survived the last 8 years with my GSW TDI so I'm sure the Alltrack will keep my...

I was thinking the same thing until I drove the new Tig and an Alltrack back to back. Long story short there is zero comparison, unless you need the small increase in space of the Tig the Alltrack is: 1) way better to drive 2) way better to look at 3) way quieter 4) way better built, the two...

Sold my 2010 back yesterday, it was emotional for me, loved the car and it treated me perfectly for the past 8 years. I just couldn't say no, the offer was too good. Dealer manager said he thought my car would be going to "the shredder" despite being in great condition with only 105,000km...

What's the deal with the Outback?

What do you think of the 5 speed manual? Perhaps my wife's 2015 has something wrong with it but I feel like it's one of the worst shifters I've used. We both love the 6 speed in the TDI as it has short positive throws. The 5 speed is long, clunky and week feeling. I've debated trying the...

It looks like the same deal they get in the USA, except that I get paid $5100 in CAD vs they get paid $5100 in USD ($6200 CAD at current). My only beef with the fix is that by my estimate my buyback amount is $5000 more, not including the $5100 restitution, than what the car would actually be...

That surprises me. My 2010 TDI takes forever for the seats to heat up and then they don't get that warm. My wife's 2015 TSI heats up almost instantly and will burn your ass off!

My wife has a TSI Golf 7, I've a 2010 JSW TDI (Gen 6). My take is that the 7 has MORE ground clearance, the 6 is a LOW car, I've smashed my hitch on the ground lots. The 7 is definitely quieter at speed. I've test driven a 7 TDI and the new engine is much nicer, revs way faster than the...

7.5 years later I'm still loving my pano and it hasn't had a single issue. Though to be fair, the whole car has also been faultless. :D My wife's 2015 Golf hatch doesn't have a sunroof and I miss it every time I'm in her car.

It is in the USA Gen I fix. I'm think the same will be true in Canada too. All the trouble points (HPFP, EGR flap, DPF) are covered by the 4.5 year extended fix warrantee. All that is left for me to pick the fix is to find out what the fix $ compensation is. I thought it was just going to be...

Any Canadians on here know if the deals are still active and what the details are? My local dealer has a 2015 Highline Sportwagon with 6MT that they haven't sold yet. The sales guy on the used side said they had 50 2015's that were snapped up almost instantly when they went on sale at 8K off...

Any Canadians on here know if the deals are still active and what the details are? My local dealer has a 2015 Highline Wagon with 6MT that they haven't sold yet. The sales guy on the used side said they had 50 2015's that were snapped up almost instantly when they went on sale at 8K off and 0%...

I've thought of doing the buyback on my TDI and getting one of these. Big fuel economy hit though. I was driving with 3 bikes on my TDI, one on the roof two on the hitch rack, going 115kph into a 40km/h headwind and I still averaged 7 L/100 KM.

The manual finally comes to Canada! That *might* tempt me back into the buyback and trade from the modification camp. I can't do the Trendline with 5 speed, wife has one and I HATE the seats. They were fine for short trips around town but on a 5 hour road trip on the weekend I was crying for...

I'm in the same boat with my 2010, love the car, it's in great shape and I'm confident I can get another 7 years out of it with minimal investment. Have zero desire to have car payments and I like the MKVI better than the MKVII wagon (6 speed manual, bigger brakes, tighter handling, etc). My...

Changing an air filter is usually about as hard as changing a light bulb.

Local dealer wanted $60 to install a new air filter. Said the current one was dirty. Obviously checking to see if the current one is dirty is the exact same procedure as replacing it. I declined. :D If you can't do basic things like changing an air filter I think public transportation is...

Yeah, I've heard that our diesel is refined to EU standards so it can be exported and thus we are having fewer HPFP failures. I asked the service guy at our local dealer and he said the ONLY failures they have seen were clearly gasoline misfuelings. Take that with a grain of salt though.

VW Canada is dragging their heals on offering the 6MT on the 4Motion Golf's for some reason. Hopefully it will be available soon.

That's strange! I'd think it would have been included with the Connectivity Package as that one has lots of steering wheel buttons. I guess they are really positioning the 3 door as a entry level car for buzzing around town. Why not go for a 5 door? I know they are a bit more but the extra...
