    A3 vs Jetta

    I'm also following this thread and thinking about a3 vs golf/jetta tdi. I really like a stick shift, and am leaning toward golf highline with manual. Here in Canada though, the tdi VWs have softer suspension tuning, and I think I'd prefer the A3 for that. Ideally I'd like a GTD- bring it here...

    New 5X112 16" 205/55/16 Winter Pkg Fredericton

    Hi, just also posted this on kijiji in f'ton, saint john, moncton, halifax. Decided not to purchase a golf tdi wagon for now, and will keep my old car. I just bought a brand new winter wheel+tire pkg with 205/55/16 Michelin X-Ice Xi2 mounted and balanced on 16" X 6.5 black steelies with wheel...

    Here's my sob story

    Still waiting to hear back from the insurance company about what they're prepared to do. In the meanwhile, my legacy is back and the bodyshop did do a good job......looks and drives good as new. So we'll see what comes of it all.....and decide whether its worth my time and effort to sue.

    Here's my sob story

    The more I think about it, you know, my back and neck have never been the same since the accident. Just kidding. I should have just kept the car going in the same direction after the kid hit me and run it into a tree and totalled the car.:) Anyway, we'll see what the final word is from the...

    Here's my sob story

    Thanks for the welcome. Hope to post more if I ever actually get to BUY MY VOLKSWAGEN. I'd be curious if anybody here has run into this scenario before and how you resolved it. The only thing I can really prove in court would be that I'm out $1000 for the reduced value of the tradein...

    Here's my sob story

    So, was all ready to join the VW club, deposit put down on a 2010 Golf TDI Sportwagen. Had a tentative deal to sell my old car (2005 subaru legacy gt wagon), nothing in writing but a verbal agreement with a guy to purchase if test drive checks out. Otherwise, woud be trading in the old car at...

    First time caller..long time listener...

    Hey, great minds think alike. My other car is a 91 NA miata, and I'm trading my 05 legacy gt wagon for a 2010 tdi sportwagen. Looking forward to a change, but couldn't beat the subaru for all weather and great power. If only subaru's diesel wagon had been out in time.....

    Snow Tires 17" Goal Wheels 2010 JSW?

    we have extreme winters here, and for icy conditions, you can't beat a studded tire. I use studless, only because the road noise from the studded tires on dry pavement is really loud and I find it too annoying, and some say the studs actually reduce your grip on wet pavement. Personal...

    Snow Tires 17" Goal Wheels 2010 JSW?

    Canadian wagons don't have tpms, so I didn't need it. I wouldn't pay $188 for the sensors, especially for winter tires, when my $6 tire pressure gauge seems to work just fine. you'll just have to put up with the dash light on through the winter, although I think there is some way of making...

    well done, that is about $1000 off MSRP if my math is correct. Manual highlines are hard cars to find!

    Snow Tires 17" Goal Wheels 2010 JSW?

    You can't beat tirerack for great customer service. I just bought a package from them last week for 16" steelies, wheel covers, and michelin x-ice Xi2 tires 205/55/16, all for about $800 shipped to Maine (I'm in Canada). The 16" will work well and future tire replacements are cheaper than...

    How much did you pay? 2010 TDI prices in Canada

    Hi, newbie here. Just ordered my new 2010 Golf Sportwagen highline manual, black, in New Brunswick. Managed $750 off MSRP, with the dealer throwing in winter floor mats, dropping fees like "nitrogen for life" and rustproofing, and car coming in December. Even better, as I sold my other car...
