Do both. I could use the former on my Sedan, It has a few scratches already.

Rotflmao......

Just ordered the same color combination and can't wait to get it. It looks so great compared to the Prius I am trading in. The extra space will be most welcomed.

Hey, has anyone received their JSW with chrome tipped exhaust? Mine came bare and the updated VW website is selling this feature as STD. On all trim levels. What gives?

The JSW does not come with Chrome tipped tail pipes.......
The ones you have seen are add-ons.

I bought mine on Ebay Here.......2nd set for me good seller

I was just thinking on how I want to get the Chrome Exhaust Tips...thanks for the link Tomo!

But the VW website shows the JSW having them as a standard item for all trims. Hence my confusion. Us early adopters get the less for our money? Mid-model tweaks? They going to change to the 9W3 also?

I know...it is only ~$50. Just seemed odd to drive off the lot, check the website and see something different than what I got.

Actually is standard on every gas powered model........This is wrong........
The VW accessory is 85. the one I purchased was 67.

 

[fleuger99]

wheels/tires, tint and blacked out window trim. my 85 MKII can be seen in the background

now just waiting for sport springs and a lug bolt set & all is good.

That is a serious transformation. The car looks great!!

Drove my baby out to Temecula for Thanksgiving...For those of you familiar with SoCal on Thanksgiving, you know that this is a 65-75 mile drive that usually takes about 2 hours or more on a Holiday. Even with that traffic, I got 45 mpg each way on the drive.

Very pleased. Can't wait til Artoo IV goes out on the first NorCal drive Jan 8.

 

[Derrel H Green]

Thought that might be you!



Though that might be you stuck in stop-and-go traffic going the other way on I-15 after Corona.
Noted how bad the traffic was heading South. Was glad we were Northbound!
See why we prefer the DSG tranny?
We were on a way from Murrieta to Upland, and then later down to Palos Verdes Estates.
No traffic going from Upland to PVE between 14:45 and 16:00 hours. Go figure.
When I dropped her off in West Covina on the way back to Murrieta at 23:00,
traffic was heavier. The Azera (ugh!) had beaten us to death for 239
miles, and getting only slightly better than half the MPG you got.

Can't wait until Song-Beverly (Califonia Lemon Law) forces Hyundai to buy back that POS.

 

[Grubendol]

We were heading south on 15 through Corona around 2:15.

 

[fleuger99]

Such smart asses.

It's better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass!

 

[Derrel H Green]

Sorry.

We were heading south on 15 through Corona around 2:15.

That could not have been you I saw at that time.
We passed through that area about 11:40 AM.

Next time you are down here in Wine Country, stop by so I can drool over
your good looking machine. I'm only a mile and a half off the interstate.

 

[LameDuck]

Oh, at last!

I have something to be extra thankful for this Thanksgiving:

After ordering back in July, it's finally in. Paralyzed while skiing 16 yrs ago, I've dreamed about being able to shift up and down more than the usual 4 spd autos. I loooove being able to drop down two and swing out around a slow car in front of me (which I joyfully did on the way back from the mountains today). Not only fun to drive, room for my wife, daughter, chair and the doggie in back. Such a fabulous car!

 

[KenDobson]

Cant wait for the factory fog lights and body kit to be available! My other cars are in the back ground. Although I like the JSW for driving home.

 

[donDavide]

Wow, Micajah, that looks awesome

I really like the changes VW made from MKV to MKVI

If you put a GLI/GTI grill on (very easy) , the Mk 5 looks good.

Would like to know everyone's opinion on the 18" Black Karthoum wheels. I'm taking delivery on my 2010 JSW in January. Dealer just notified me that my initial wheel selection was not available on the wagons. So instead of the dealership having me select another wheel, they notified me that the Black Karthoums will be on my vehicle, which are also the most expensive ones, go figure.
Never really been a fan of the blacked out wheel look. Wondering how they look in person. Also wondering the success rate of people swapping wheels out at the dealership lot. Thoughts on the matter?

 

[Grubendol]

I'll tell you what...I wasn't sure about loving the Grey Goals, but now that I've had them for a month, it was BRILLIANT to keep them. No visible brake dust!

 

[Derrel H Green]

Excellent Thinking



Sometimes, a person just gets lucky!

I think they look good. I would like a set on my Passat, but I am just going to get what I have powder coated brilliant black to match car.

2010 Jsw Tdi

Purchased a 2010 JSW TDI 6 speed today for $1000 under MSRP and got the rubber mats thrown in. I averaged 46 mpg for the 100 mile trip home.

my blue graphite baby is now sporting a brand spankin' new TDI Club decal in the left rear window panel!

My New 2010 JSW

Hi, I just joined the forum after I purchased my 2010 JSW on 11/23. I love my car! Mine is 6 speed manual, Black on Black, with navigation, panoramic sunroof, sport and protection package and 17" wheels. The buy went extremely well, I was done in 45 minutes with a great price - 28036.00. I drive a lot and already have amassed 2700 miles due to my daily commute of 279 miles round trip. Fortunately, I have averaged 44 mpg using gallons/odometer readings. Very happy.

And I thought I had a long commute! My car is just over a month old and has 2300 miles.

Wow, and people at work freak out about my 165 mi. RT daily. I rec'd mine on the same day as you, but only have 1600 mi. on mine. Those seats are soooooo much more comfortable than my bug. At my usual 78 mph I was getting about 39 mpg (although to be accurate on the MDI it should be gpm since it says "consumption"...), but once I pulled my foot off the front bumper and held it to 70, I'm getting about the same 44 mpg (.0227 gpm )

Swapping wheels is ok. Just make sure the car you get them from has low or no mileage. You could end up with the wheels you want on tires that have 5,000 miles on them. If that is the case, get the dealer to credit you for the tire wear.

My preference is for silver wheels with more sidewall on the tires to protect from road hazzards.
