I'm sorry, but it's so bland inside and out that basically by buying it, you are going to tell the world "I don't care about looks, panache, or style. I don't want to be different; I want to be just like everybody else and drive a VW that looks just like a handful of other VWs." And I'm sure the cost of ownership will be pretty high too.

That's exactly what I'm talkin about.

Explain. From what I've heard those little VW diesels are trouble free.

That is just one particular model. There are three different trims, "Sport and Style (19'' rims), Track and Field (offroad) and Trend & Fun. Sure, the interior is from a Golf Plus, but this dosen't look to bad, however.

Just some thoughts

I haven't heard of a reliable VW as of late. Just becase it's a diesel doesn't mean the radio won't stop working, the window seals start whistling, or the moonroof start leaking.

My pic in the small 'ute catagory is likely still the Mitsu Outlander. It's reasonably priced, looks great, not everyone and their brother has one, and it's got a split tailgate. I dunno, I just never really liked VWs.

I've driven a Golf (ok, the Rabbit) and that was........."okay". The 6-speed auto gearbox was good, but the brakes were spongy and something in the headliner towards the rear was loose so it rattled everytime I took it over rough pavement. The motor was mediocre and unsophisticated, with good midrange punch but subpar fuel economy. It does drive better than almost everything in its class though.

the TDI 6 speed w/ 4motion will be worth the wait. Word is it's extremely tuneable too..

Vee Trouble You....... nein danke. :rofl:

Looks Boring :yawn:

Now THAT'S a better look!
