Good info here, thanks!

This is kind of what I've always thought, even though I don't have a pano. I guess it's convenient to leave them mounted.

Yeah, I don't know if these are pano compatible or not. Maybe 1/4" more clearance than your Whisps.

A couple more pics of the cargo basket. Don't judge my dirty car, I ran it through the wash once, but there was still plenty of salt, sand, and slushy snow when I installed it and took these pics in the garage.

Rola Crossbars and Cargo Basket I love the crossbars, they are super low profile, look great, and although I can hear them, they didn't create much "noise." The cargo basket has some mixed reviews. It isn't a Thule or a Yakima, but it looks cool so Doctor Who would dig it too. I swapped out...

^This^ On my steep driveway with a little ice, I can make it up by turning off the traction control. If I leave it on, I'm hosed and can't make it up 1/2 way usually. On a curvy road with fresh snow and intermittent slick spots, it might save your bacon by keeping you going in a straight...

It's pretty much my dream vehicle, either a 4-door 4x4 TDI truck or a 4x4 TDI van. If VW doesn't make one (or import one) in North America, I may have to get a Nissan Frontier Diesel 4x4 when it comes soon. Supposedly a Cummins/Nissan partnership.

I really like the Golfs (Golves, Golfi?), but my JSW is just such a babe-magnet that I feel like I have to let you know that. Actually, wifey preferred it when I was looking at a Golf or Jetta TDi. Despite the greater storage space, the JSW is a pretty small car.

I got the Rolas. Man they are sweet, I'll attach pics when I get permission. Very low profile, look like they've always been on there.

Good information and discussion here, and less argumentative than some threads. Guess I'll run out and get a little additive. About 6 months into ownership and I'm getting symptoms of TDIClub Forum-Induced HPFP-Failure paranoia. Actually, buying the extended warranty is worth some peace of...

Verboten, is that a Virago 920? Quickest bike of that size I've ridden. It'd blow the wheels off my Intruder 1400.

Great news, thanks!

As mentioned, rear seat leg room can be an issue on longer trips. This is a small car (with lots of interior space.) That space is NOT in cubby holes, glove compartments, etc. Big sunglasses won't fit in the ceiling mounted glasses holder. Next time, I'll get the backup camera. And, if you...

First time TDI'er. I went with it for mileage and longevity. After reading too much about the Fusion Hybrid's (what I thought was my #1 choice) underperformance, it came down to JSW TDI or a Prius. Frankly, the JSW looks cooler. :D

So, hopefully I'll never put the wrong fuel in my tank because it has the "dummy proof" nozzle adapter.:cool: I may, at times, get in a hurry and start it without waiting for the squiggly glow plug light to extinguish.:eek: If, hypothetically, a feller did this a few times, what damage could...

I think this is the right forum for JSW pics.

I'm right at 10k on my '13 JSW, noticed that mpg improved the past 1500 miles or so. I was getting 36-37mpg for the first 8k, now getting 42 mpg. Dealer svc guy says to expect it to continue to get better. :D

I dig it! Imagine it w/ a Westy conversion...

Me? What I'm really going for is the cargo basket. Don't know yet if I'll leave it installed all the time or just when needed. So, I need crossbars to mount the cargo basket. http://www.amazon.com/Rola-59820-Volkswagen-Jetta-Wagon/dp/B0058N6OZ4

I'm probably going with the Rola bars and cargo basket on my '13 JSW. Better deal on the Amaz than other sites so far, do any of our sponsors here sell Rola?
