    Reliability

    I have a 2014 6MT wagon that I got used in 2018. Right now it has a CEL on for a cracked DPF. The dealer ordered all the parts, but the DPF is on backorder. The car drives fine, but they said if it starts driving weird, bring it in and they would get me into a loaner. The DPF has been on...

    Central Florida

    Yeah I totally get that. Central Florida is a pretty big area. I have a friend who lives in Orlando, who owns a couple of VWs. I'll see if he knows any mechanics in that same vain.

    Central Florida

    I take my car to Melbourne Motorsports. The owner has a MK6 TDI SportWagen just like me. Prices are extremely reasonable for the work they do.

    Mostly city driving? What kind of MPg you get?

    My commute is 70% highway and 30% city driving with stoplights. I'm averaging about 36-38 for that. Best I've gotten on a highway tank was 43.5 MPG. 2014 w/ 6MT

    Filled up yesterday at Cumberland Farms off of US-192 and I-95. Because I get $.10/gal, the price was $2.719 for me. RUG was $2.579 I believe.

    Stories when filling up at "gasoline station"

    I was filling up at Cumberland Farms the other day. An older F-350 PowerStroke pulled up on the other side. As I was filling, the guy on the other side saw that the diesel hose was extended and peeked around the corner to see if I was putting diesel in my car. He asked if it was a diesel car, I...

    Pano Roof

    My 2014 has the pano roof. It was a little colder this morning (low 40s, cold for Florida anyways), and the pano was creaking a little tiny bit, still rattled less than my 2014 Focus that I had, that had more obnoxious noises. I only noticed it when I turned down the radio, but on the highway I...

    I'm stuck... 2013 or 2014 JSW?

    Welcome! Looks nice! The 2013 is the one I would've picked out of the 2 options you provided if that makes you feel any better.

    Candy White '13 VW Sportwagen TDI Build

    I know the feeling. I wasn't looking at cars at all and I just happened to be browsing my local dealer's site, and they had a mint condition 2014 grey JSW, and happened to have a manual. I've been in love ever since. Congrats on the purchase! Looks great!

    I live in a really interesting part of Florida. In Brevard county, the diesel price varies quite a bit. Down by where I work in Melbourne, it's about $2.49/gal. In the northern parts of the county it averages anywhere from $2.89/gal to $3.19/gal. Not really sure why it's so much cheaper just 15...

    I'm back in the club! Proud owner of a 2014 JSW!

    Quick update: I've had the car since Sunday. I've put about 300 miles on it since then with about 70% highway and 30% city driving. Somehow I still have half a tank left, and it's saying about 300 mile to empty. If I can even get 500 miles out of 1 tank, that's impressive to me. So far so good.

    Oh this thing puts a huge smile on my face. I had a 2013 DSG Jetta before, and even with the emissions fix on this JSW, this is way more fun to drive with the manual. :D I grew up in MN, but now living in Florida, I don't get the joy of spinning tires on demand anymore. I might have to make a...
