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

This car feels like it was designed for me. It's practical and extremely fun, it's built well and feels twice as expensive. It's quiet, zippy and handles very well. The fuel economy is actually better than it's rating. After 3K miles my average is almost 28mpg and I can easily get mid 30's on the HWY at cruising speed. The infotainment on the SEL is amazing and intuitive and the seating is very comfortable. I really couldn't ask for a better car...

I’ve only put about 1,200 miles on this car, but I really love it so far! Very competent, very pleasant driver (especially as a 6-speed manual), decent cargo space, tasteful interior w/ many thoughtful touches, elegant and sporty exterior and MUCH better MPG than advertised! I feel like this car checks off all my boxes. At the SE trim level I purchased, I miss having a memory function for the driver’s seat, but that’s really my only gripe. The stereo sounds good, road noise is minimal, seats have long-term comfort. Really just a very competent, well thought through car and one I can see myself enjoying for years to come! You can have your SUVs, I’ll take my all-season sportwagon! UPDATE: Still l-o-v-e my Alltrack! I’m reminded of how much I prefer driving my VW whenever I have to drive my wife’s. CX-5. It’s a nice enough vehicle, but my Alltrack is so much more engaging. The performance advantages it brings, especially w/ the manual, and its confidence-inspiring competence really makes the entire driving experience better. And I’ve driven it 1,500 in a single day, so I’ve really been able to test that theory! Just a great little car, and absolutely perfect for me! I have close to 10,000 miles on the clock and ready for many, many more! UPDATE: 17,000 on the clock and still in love! This car does everything I need and does it well. Not one single solitary problem, either, so reliability seems pretty darn good. And check out what they’re asking for these on the used car market. It’s obscene! 37,000 miles on the clock & except for being a door ding magnet, this car has been great! Zero problems, fun to drive…. What’s not to love?

Traded in my 2011 Outback for one of these in the green/brown in November 2019. I’ve taken it on multiple trips from the Seattle area to Montana, once to Minnesota and back and down to Oregon a couple times. I’m sitting at 16k miles right now and I’ve had no issues. Very happy with how the Alltrack performs. DSG is a great transmission, 1.8tsi is a peppy enough engine which can deliver some surprising fuel numbers - I got 37.5mpg from the Oregon coast back to Seattle. I do run non-ethanol fuel though so that would naturally boost economy. Can’t really speak about 4motion since the only time I leave pavement is the .5 mile gravel road to my house. I have to say the Falken Sincera tires that come stock will be getting replaced with something else once the time comes. They’re not very good tires to be blunt. Terrible wet traction. Would definitely recommend a test drive of the Alltrack if you’re considering it.

Hoard the manuals

Nice notchy 6spd. A dying breed. A unicorn. I didn’t really need a new car but I’m hoarding manuals before they vanish. Better than hoarding TP. Typical germanic behaviors, very solid, even a little more taught than my aging BMW’s.

This car is a sleeper. You drive it and you will love it. It's quick around town and enters the freeway nicely. We dive from Reno to Sacramento and average 31 Mpg and although I'm 62, I know how to make this car move. The rear seats are tight but it's a small car I look at people in their snoopy small Suvs as I pass them and I smile. The SUVs and CUVs all look as if they were cut with the same cookie cutter. I like the clean lines of this small wagon. It out handles and out brakes all of them. And does so effortlessly. I wish I had bought a 2018 and not a 2017 as it has a better warranty then ours. I'd like to see a TDI version but that's not going to happen. Perhaps a bi-turbo to blow away those ugly Subaru's and their hideous sounding flat motor. They sound like our washing machine when it's unbalanced in the spin cycle.
