Tried & true? You think that
Tried & true? You think that just adding all wheel drive makes a car have to be re-proven? The same AWD system has been used by VW for years and the Golf Wagon, like the Golf and GTI are built on the super-solid MQB platform which has won car of the year awards from every corner of the globe. I can tell you that finding a better car for the money will be nigh on impossible. It is more solid and better built than a BMW, has loads of features and value. It holds as much as an SUV but handles liek a sports car. And if you think that you'll be punishing VW for a very sad and unfortunate circumstance - that just shows how simple minded and influenced you are by the mostly American press which lets GM off the hook for ignoring 10-years of knowingly bad ignition switches (and multiple deaths) but relentlessly skewers a company for emitting more NOX. Do you know where most of the world's naturally ocuring NOX comes from? From the floors of old growth riparian forests as the rotting foliage is converted by bacteria into cute little nitrogen farts. All sheep back to the barn!
