Having a Blast with my Alltrack!

I bought the Alltrack SEL in July 2017 after spending months looking at nearly every SUV and crossover in the market to find the best combination of mileage, AWD and user-friendly cargo space. One reason I chose the Alltrack over the Outback and others was because the I needed the cargo space to haul my gear, which tends to be heavy or bulky (even sometimes needing ramps for loading and unloading) and I wanted a low bumper combined with ample cargo room. When I actually took a tape measure to dealers I was amazed at how much higher the liftover heights were on most crossovers and SUVs given that ground clearances were only an inch or two higher. The Alltrack has clever extra storage under the cargo floor as well so overall I'm very happy with cargo capacity. My previous car was a VW GTI that I drove for 10 years (best car I have ever owned) and while nothing in the crossover or SUV market handles nearly as well as the GTI, the Alltrack is superior to all others I drove, and power is comparable to offerings in the price range. The weakest elements in the Alltrack are the rear legroom and the default shifting program on the DSG tranny, which seems to always be in too high a gear. Fortunately there is a Sport shifting mode which works well around town, and the tranny is responsive to the steering wheel paddles. The AWD system is straight out of the Golf R and Audi S3, and the ground clearance is adequate for very rough terrain. I have taken my Alltrack with 400+ pounds of gear on crazy forest routes in Wyoming and drawn stares from drivers of vehicles with twice the ground clearance. Never bottomed-out. I have 14,000 miles in ten months and mileage is at least as good as the 22/30 EPA ratings. Build quality, ride comfort, outward visibility, pano roof and entertainment system (in the SEL) are all excellent. I am over 6' and the seats and front legroom are excellent.

I have 10k miles on my Alltrack... I am happy I chose the Alltrack. Originally I wanted a diesel wagon with AWD. The US market will never see such a combo. The Alltrack is the next closest thing. I have a commute of 100 miles a day and I average 28-31 mpg on the dash depending on my driving style. My full tanks have ranged from 340-390 miles. No check engine lights thus far... adaptive cruise control and lane assist are great features. Sound system at 400 watts is more than enough for me. Lighting package is very nice. What I don’t like: I wish it had seat memory setting... and foldable power side mirrors.

Wanted a manual transmission wagon with good fuel economy, good foul-weather performance, and all the latest tech. The VW Alltrack is the only game in town. Granted, it's not as quick as the two V6, six-speed Acuras I've owned, but it has never felt underpowered and maintains speed just fine in 6th gear on the highway. Fender audio system isn't quite as good as the ELS system in my Acura, but is more than good enough and has better bass response. Touchscreen interface and general control ergonomics are both outstanding, as is the comfort of the front seats. It's fun to drive, quiet, and handles very well. Rear seating is a bit tight, but manageable if you move the front seats forward. Excellent cargo utility. A few favorite features of mine are the adaptive LED lights, adaptive cruise (works great even with the stick shift), panoramic moonroof, and self-parking feature (mostly a party trick, but SO COOL!). It's the Swiss army knife among cars, and it's my favorite car I've owned. Get one while you can. They're dropping them in December 2019 and who knows if we'll ever get a stick shift wagon again, from anyone, let alone one loaded with all the cool features. Got mine for over $6K off sticker.

2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack TSI S 4dr Wagon AWD (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I was looking at the Tiguan - I was downsizing from an Atlas which was too much car for my needs and garage. The Atlas was nice but I had a case of buyer's remorse within a week of buying it. Kept it less than a year. I'm not a fan of the 8-speed transmission in the Atlas or Tiguan. I had not considered the Alltrack. One drive and I was hooked. I had driven a GTI for a few years and the Alltrack felt more sporty than either the Tiguan or the Atlas. I wanted a manual transmission and no sunroof so I grabbed the only S on the lot and glad I did. Nearly 2K on the odometer now, and I am very pleased. Looking foward to winter after watching a you-tube video of the car in action on a frozen lake in Canada. The S is well equipped, it almost seems like they needed to use up an inventory of upgrades before taking the car off the market. LED running lights, ambient in-door lighting, collision avoidance, all standard. Wish I had the SE sound system, but I got the car for $22.926 over $5K off list price.
