You can fold down the rear seats, and the passenger seat, and transport 8' widgets with ease. And one of the best parts: It gets 38mpg in the city.  |
I'll second that!! I love my VW, but I do know what Hattie's saying about some of the VW quality. Problem is, we're used to Mercedes quality, that's all.
We'll see how long my diesel VW lasts. So far I've cranked nearly 34,000 miles on the odometer in a little over a year without any serious issues. But it's still a young car. But I'm taking good care of it!!
