Thanks tomo. Didn't know that it was different on the 10.
I want the fog lights too, but I guess that will have to wait. I ended up with the White Gold/Cornsilk combo. I preferred the Blue Graphite looks-wise it wasn't the most practical choice. I hope I'm not disappointed...Grubendol said:Congrats to you too. What kind of wheels are you shopping for? Which color did you go with? Can't wait for that Pano Sunroof and those MPGs!
Please, call me Grubie, or RicdasBlinkenlight said:Love the Goal Anthracites on your Blue Graphite, Grubendol.
With the limited color selections, there's really not a bad choice among 'em. I would have chosen the White Gold if it were available. My '05 JW was silver, which I enjoyed but didn't want to repeat. The choice came down to red at one dealer and white at another. The white arrived first, and I liked the dealer better anyway....
The Goal wheels are growing on me. Really didn't want the $1100 upcharge, but VW seems to be pushing these. Could have traded straight across for the 17" Portos from a Wolfsburg, but it was too much hassle.
We got the Pano roof and love that the kiddo can look out from the back seat. (I call it the "rain roof.") Hoping the Cornsilk V-Tex is stain and UV resistant.
Congrats on all the new cars, folks! Did I mention I *love* mine?

Hey Tomo, have you confirmed whether or not the '10 JSW has a highline CECM yet? I'm wagering that it doesn't since it's kind of a Mk5.5 and not a full on Mk6 like the '10 Golf. It would be just like VW to still have the midline CECM in the JSW like the '10 sedan does.tomo366 said:I just found out Fog Lights are standard on the 2010 MK6 Golf TDI
So all we need to add them to our new Jetta Sportwagens is to obtain the correct part#s and we should be able to order
Haven't been able to find that out yet but I agree with you........Pelican18TQA4 said:Hey Tomo, have you confirmed whether or not the '10 JSW has a highline CECM yet?

Congrats to another new JSW owner! You've been very patient, waiting since July, although not the longest wait I've heard of.takebars said:Hello all, I have been lurking here since I placed my order in July. Picked mine up last Thursday, and already put some Blizzak on yesterday. This car is everything I hoped for and more. Only two gripes would be no power/memory seats, and would like more phone bluetooth functionality. On the short list: pinnacle f1 35%, panzer plate, aspherical mirrors, and autodimming homelink rearview.
TDI, DSG, Big Glass, MDI Console, Monster Mats, Clear Bra![]()
I think I was pretty lucky as far as the wait. My order was picked up almost immediately, so didn't have the IS Order Bank hell. It still tested my patience, but could have been a lot worse.StaceyR said:Congrats to another new JSW owner! You've been very patient, waiting since July, although not the longest wait I've heard of.
Questions: About your Clear Bra. Did you get the full coverage kit and how much did it cost you for install?
What color combo did you order? We'd like to see some pics with the tint. I'm still deciding on what % to get. Mine's still sitting at the port.

I have a dumb question about snow tires. Do people ever put tire chains over their snow tires? Or do snow tires negate the need for chains?takebars said:The tint is probably going to wait a couple months, since the Blizzaks ate those funds. I will post as soon as it happens though. Oh well, I would rather not put my new car in a ditch this winter![]()
Sorry, I can't be a ton of help with these questions. This is my first set of snows, because I moved here from Florida about 1 1/2 yrs ago.macbarr said:I have a dumb question about snow tires. Do people ever put tire chains over their snow tires? Or do snow tires negate the need for chains?
Also, do you prefer studded or studless snow tires and why?
Sweet ride. Love those rims. Found out today mine is stuck at port too. Will have it Monday or Tuesday. Debating on whether to have dealer tint and add it to my financing or to wait. I also have the blue graphite with black so the tinting will be a must.takebars said:I think I was pretty lucky as far as the wait.

My bra doesn't cover the bumper or headlights (kinda wish the headlights were done). It only covers the hood (around 12") and front quarter panels (basically any metal on the front of the car). Price was $110 installed through my broker.
I went with black interior (one reason I want the ceramic tint).

You and me both it seems. I just found out mine is in port limbo until early next week. Rats! I had a weekend train ride and brew pub tour of San Diego planned for this Saturday. I don't know if I can wait until next weekend, so I may take a solo train ride mid-week if the my JSW is prepped and back from the window tinter Monday or Tuesday.Grubendol said:Sweet ride.

Portos:Grubendol said:I can't find the portos listed at the vw.com site, so I have no idea what they cost...
Anyone got the price difference between the grey goals and the portos?
Those prices are on the window sticker.........6910sb said:Portos:
$398 invoice, $450 retail
Goals:
$899 invoice, $1099 retail
I got those from the 2010 order guide. I managed to snag the PDF from vortex before the link was removed.tomo366 said:Those prices are on the window sticker.........
If you go to a Dealer you will most likely pay 1000-1200 for 4 of those wheels......
