Man! I (18 years old) really get goosebumps when I watch the video here. My mom had the vehicle since 2012 until March 2021 because she bought a fully equipped Tiguan Allspace TDI with 200 hp here in Germany. I drove this vehicle for half a year since I had my drivers license: it was a 1.6 TDI with 105 hp and 5 speed manual. It was a special model ''Style'' with a lot of chrome and pretty good equipment. We gave the car with 200k kilometers and can only say one thing: Even if I like features like bluetooth, Dynaudio Premium Sound System or a panoramic Sunroof, to the Golf Variant (Jetta SportWagen) I could build a stronger emotional bond than to the Tiguan! If one day I have some money after school, this is the car I will buy first! Thanks for your video!!

I've had mine for about three years. I bought mine after my BMW engine blew up. I stopped by my dealership and was shocked to see these back in the lots. I've loved it and every time I think I'm going to replace it, I don't. I may keep it another 10 years and enjoy the great MPG and give it to my young kid when he's ready to drive. No complaints, from mountain driving to long road trips. We also have a roof basket on top and haul hay and tow a boat and pop up camper behind it. And yes, the voice command system can go suck a pickle.

bought a 2011 tdi and man I absolutely love it. I drive cross country all the time and for space in the back with a bed / over 40mpg is nuts

I myself have a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI with a 6-speed manual transmission I got mine through carvana. I bought it with 58000 miles on it I love this car I've had this for a month also when you mentioned about the license plate you can run a front license plate through the tow hook area just have to buy a special Mount that screws into the tow hook witches weather ground cover is on the passenger side of the bumper. The six-speed manual transmission is very good not she and very solid shifts the clutch was a little hard to get used to because it grabs immediately because I believe it's a brand new clutch in my car. The radio in this car that you reviewed is different from mine I have a standard AM FM radio with HD FM, satellite, SD card media, media connection for a iPod auxiliary input 6 disc CD changer as well as Bluetooth connectivity I also don't have the sunroof moonroof because those actually have a tendency to leak and they cost more than they're worth to fix. The benefit also with these cars that come with a full size spare tire not some donut Tire which most manufacturers have. My fuel economy is right now as 2021 winter 48 to 50 miles to the gallon I'm looking forward to the summer driving and seeing how far I can push the miles to the gallon I'm also going to try to push it a little harder on the miles to the gallon in the winter to see if I can reach the upper 50s. They are great cars that have I agree with you diesel should have caught on granite if they didn't do that fudging of the admissions we wouldn't have this problem but other manufacturers got caught as well Chevrolet and others

I bought a 2014 jetta tdi sports wagon just over a year ago. Only differences are I have a backup camera and blonde seats. Fell in love with it on the test drive at 75000. It handles like a Corvette and still hauls a bunch of nesecitys. Hell if I'm not careful tire spin at stop lights are common. I'm not afraid of the diesel isue but I hope maintenance issues don't become a problem.

I just bought a 2013 Jetta Sportwagen back in mid January, needed a new car, after my Nissan Altima took a 💩 on me, this is my second Jetta. But I love it, great fuel economy, plenty of go power, and cargo space. The only downside is lack of storage space in the center console.

I wish I had two of these. I got lucky and bought what I thought was just a cheap economy car when VW flooded the used car market with these modified diesels. "Surprise" doesn't even come close to what I felt.

Just bought a 2010 Jetta TDI diesel. It has been sitting upwards of two years. It starts fine , has some odd sounds as it starts then idols great. I’ve been leaving it running to flush the old diesel out and just let the engine run. What should I do…?

We had the same tdi in red and my wife loved the sportwagen! The buyback offer was too good not to take. We now have an Audi allroad and haven't looked back.

love. these. cars. bought my 2013 in 2017 w/ 70k (a little more mi. than i wanted). in short these cars are a blast to drive...i'm usually in sport mode w/ traction control 'off'.. i love these so much that when my wife's acura trans went, i immediately schemed to get her into one.. took her to a great dealer here in Nor. Cal expecting, half-hoping to get into a passat tdi. my wife spotted a 2014 red sportwagen TDI w/ 40k miles...it was a steal. both cars have essentially 'full' warranty until Summer 2023!! i drive w/ my 'foot in it' at all times knowing the spec of diesel engines can tolerate absolute ABUSIVE driver input. aesthetically, perfect inside and out.. they were cheap when we got into them. now CARVANA has bought them all up in cali and is now charging premium.. certain i could sell mine for the 15k i paid years ago....

Very nicely done video. I love my TDI.

Do you prefer the Jetta or Golf TDI Sportwagen?

Your a funny dude. I like your commentary!

Hi zach, nice video again! i'm a dutch viewer and very familiar with the VW Diesels. What is the diesel price over there in Illinois? Over here it is €1,33 a Litre.

Hi have 08 mk5 2.0tfsi Japan import here in New zealand.mine has full Elec seats...love the car and has 300hp just enough

My dad has the 2010 SportWagen automatic with the gas engine. The DSG transmissions were not very good... but his car is awesome.

I was car shopping right before the pandemic and it was between this and a 2016 Impreza in the Northwest Indiana area. I ended up with the Impreza.

Thats weird. Only 39mpg? My 2007 Passat 2.0 TDI 140 gets 46-50mpg on the highway. And its the older PD (Pumpe Duse) engine.

What’s funny is I own the car on his shirt and I’m about to buy the car he’s driving on for a commuter lmaooo

I will make the diesel great again

This is one of the most complete vehicles on the market (used or new) today!

I do like these

The truth about dieselgate is, as you said, nobody cares about at all, at least here in Europe. In the times of dieselgate, diesel cars was still at theirs peak here, now diesel cars sales falls down, but diesels are still very popular. Even more in used cars market. J

Does it have a spare?

I'm sold

in germany we call this model golf variant also sportwagen literally means sports car in geramn wich it is definitely not xD

There was a LOT more to dieselgate then "fudging the numbers"

Honestly thought this car was sweet till it figured out it was fwd

I literally just bought this car today lol 😂 my first Volkswagen 😁

Sunroof leaks. Great car other than that.

Feels more like that person you know that's always lying finally got caught and got what they deserved.

Getting famous off of comments day 257, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🚀🚀
