JSW 2.5L S - A great deal on a solid car.
interactive3, Hopkinton, MA, 11/18/2012
2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen S 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
I prefer a manual transmission so I had to get the base S model. (No sunroof, No chrome around the side windows) Previous car: Audi A4 Avant Quattro 1.8T. I had to give up AWD and auto climate control :( The Sportwagen build quality is not quite a clean, there is some sub par assembly of a few interior pieces.
After 1 week I'm very happy with the car. Brakes, engine, transmission and … clutch/shifting are all strong points. The construction feels solid. Handling good. Suspension good.
4th and 5th gear are tall, lowering the RPMs. The 5 cylinder engine is smooth and up to the task. FYI - It feels like the car has a large flywheel. The engine is slow to rev and decelerate.
