There wasn't an "all of the above"... At one point I wanted to have every a4 body style there is, oh well.
I really like this on mine; it's a fantastic look.Wagon with golf nose
I saw a TDI truck when I went to Belize for Thanksgiving. New too.I personally am not that concerned with looks.
I need the wagon for the cargo space, but a bit longer would be better.
For looks I use to like the GM Hummer.
A box going down the highway.
Last, I wish VW would bring back the pickup truck.
I had on way back,.
Loved it.
I've considered the same swap on mine. If you aren't rough with them, they hold up fine. The other reason I like them better is they don't get "floppy" like the Golf vents do. They stay aimed where I want them.My son has recently made a career change and is doing carpentry work. He lives in rural western MA, and drives to work are long. A co-worker was complaining about how much he spends a week on fuel for his Silverado, and insisted he needs the truck to carry tools. My son keeps the rear seat folded in his Golf, and all his tools easily fit. They probably would even without folding the seat, but sometimes he's got a table saw in there.
We were also laughing that we no longer tell non-TDI people how many miles are on our cars because it simply doesn't register as a real number for most people. 300K miles they might get, but when you say a number over 400K they just look at you like you misspoke.
I won't disagree with you there. I'm tall and taller in the torso as well, but I still like how I fit in my Golf. Ironically, most SUVs are too small for me, go figure. Except the Tiguan, but that car is a POS in its own right.I like the Beetles for the monster head room for my long torso, at least the models without a sun roof. Not nearly as practical as any of the other bodystyles, but they're the lightest weight and pretty fun to drive on curvy roads.
Ever since they started calling just about anything an SUV.SUVs are all different sizes.
Yeah - all the way from big to small. Now they have crossovers, but to me, they still scream SUV. Just give me a good 'ol fashioned hatchback (or wagon) and I'm good.Ever since they started calling just about anything an SUV.
But my Suburban is commodious.
Nice looking wagon. Looks a bit darker than indigo blue, though.I can now honestly say Jetta wagon is 2nd to the NB.
Just picked up this one.. BEW manual.
