Used Volkswagen Golf SportWagen for Sale in Washington, DC

I bought my Sportwagen diesel 3 weeks before they announced the diesel scam. I got an incredible deal on both my trade in and the new car. I soon found out why. But! This is a great car. Lots of room for kids and dogs. It handles beautifully on the road. Turning is very smooth, unlike anything I've ever felt. Mileage on diesel fuel is outstanding. I average 40 mpg in the city. On the highway however, I get about 50 mpg. My fuel costs have dropped dramatically. I have and paid for "pulse" on the third brake which routinely shows up as broken on my info screen, now I just ignore it. I love this car, it's easy to get in and out of and completely fills my need for a vehicle. I have tossed around the idea of the buyback, but I love this car so much, I can't find anything else I want. I consider myself very luck to have the diesel. Winter in Wisconsin has proven to be no issue for the Diesel engine with the right fuel. So I'm 100% happy with this little wagon!

Seeing only two consumer reviews on Edmunds at this point is kind of disappointing for how great this car really is. I have the S trim, so now there's an SEL, and SE and an S review. I wasn't willing to buy up to the SE trim at this time, but I find a lot of value in the car even at the S level. I had bought the 2015 Golf TSI SE as well earlier in the year but kept finding that with 3 kids and a dog and road travel, the extra space was needed. However, in owning the SE, things like the sunroof, Fender audio, heated seats, RSWs, etc. were all nice, but I really liked how solid and quiet the Golf was to drive. It made driving easy, and that's what opened me up to try the S trim. It's a real shame this is a niche car all because of the influence of the truck/SUV on American mind sets. There are four things I've asked myself about this car, but I still give it a 5-star rating and two thumbs up. First, why no USB port?... just weird. I mean they don't even have an iPhone 5 adapter. If no USB port, then they should send an inventory of adapters to dealers to outfit each car. Second, why no heated seats on the S trim, when even the base Jetta with cloth has them? I live in Colorado and use the heated seats from time to time. Now I'll have to pay $450 for a local shop to install them (with most of the cost in labor). Third, (and this applies to all Golfs in general) why not just put a soft plastic upper panel on the back seat passenger doors and match up the quality of everywhere else in the car? My prior JSW had that. Lastly, I've heard the reasons why they dropped the IRS from the GSW and Golf TDI to accommodate emissions, and I find it tuned okay, but it just bothers me when I think about it. Update: Great car still.
