Jetta Wagon will be going back...what are our options?

[Bill Talbot]

The drivers seat was actually fine for both of us, it was the passenger seat, It's not about feeling strange.

I've never sat on that side...

I do and so does Tricia, so for us it is a concern.

Phil, that's been our experience in a 2005 LGT, and a 2013 Outback, with leather seats. The passenger seat is terrible on the legs. We'd have pain, numbness about an hour into a ride. We never drive as a couple in one. For some odd reason our daughters 2008 Outback XT has good seats. Better everthing, including the leather. When she told me they were a lot better than the LGT, I told her she was nuts. The passenger seat isn't great, but it's much better.

If the passengers seats had a basic tilt motion for the base, I think all would be well. It doesn't. Good for you to realize it.

Good move, I think, on the TDI!

I did drive a Golf Sportwagen 4Motion, I will do a first drive impression soon.

Looking forward to it.

The real deciding factor though... which one is Ziggy approved?

His "nesting" is an issue with cloth seats, he will tear them up. V-Tex he just scratches.

Well, I put a deposit down on one of the 15 Golf Sportwagen TDI 6 speeds. Once they figure out the pricing and if the fix will work and there isn't too much loss in fuel economy it is still the vehicle that fits out needs the best. I did drive a Golf Sportwagen 4Motion, I will do a first drive impression soon.

Doing some Ouji board estimates....depending when the Alltrack 6 speed is available, I think it is still in the running.

Chevy announced that the Cuze diesel will also be available in a manual transmission! GMInsidenews.com. Now, if you make the wagon available, you would have my money. The hatchback is just too short in the back.

Really Phil, a GM product?

Don't hate. It's not what it is, it's what it does. Our Yukon XL is a great tool for what it is.

Looks like a Sportwagon with chevy badges.

Looks more like a Levorg to me, but either way, it will do the job.

This is much better looking imho.

But, we are not going to see either one, so it's moot.

That looks nice...Audi buyers will take notice, out of my league...and time frame.

They should badge that Cadillac, it's hard to imagine any Audi buyer buying a Buick, no matter what it looks like.

GM has been selling this as the Opel Insignia since 2008. There have been rumors of this coming over since they started selling the updated Regal in 2011. I doubt we will see it. It is very popular in Europe.

Maybe you should hold out for a "used" Porsche ...
