Glad to be back in a Jetta

2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen S PZEV 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
There was one manual S available in all of Southern California when I was in the market. While I loved the response of the TD, I just couldn't justify the additional $5-10K. Plus, I live in the desert, so I really don't have any desire for a sunroof.
This car replaces a 2009 Subaru Forester, a reliable yet gas guzzling AWD, with no power & awful seats.
I don't regret not spending the … extra $ for the diesel because I'm consistently getting 33-35 mpg/hwy, 26-28mpg/city.
I drive 60/40 hwy/city.
After 5 months, with 5K miles, I'm thoroughly enjoying this car.
Though this is as basic a Sportwagen as one could probably find, I got a lot of car for a very reasonable price.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen S PZEV 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl 5M)
Updating my May 2013 review
Great seats for long drives.
Excellent lumbar support.
I'd like full power seats, but at least the power seat back adjustment is a great idea.
Mileage:
Great.
Recent trip:
Palm Springs to Oakland:
35.5 mpg.
Marin to Ventura counties:
37.5
Ventura to Palm Springs: 39.5
This is not the TDI, so although I'd love the additional power of the turbo, the … excellent mileage has compensated for the 2.5.
Bluetooth works well, although I did have to have the dealer pair my phone to it.
They were happy to do it and I have to say that VW service has been excellent from VW of Palm Springs.
