o0n8 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Picked up my new car tonight. My Mazda wagon decided to eject another spark plug so I decided it was time to move on. I wanted another wagon with heated seats so I got a '17 Golf S Sportwagen 4 Motion. Couldn't find one with 3 pedals so DSG it is. Not a bad thing for a daily and I still have the Miata in the garage. It has more torque and high MPG's than the Mazda had. I got over $6k off sticker after adding in the extended warranty VW is offering to match the warranty for the'18 models. I'm happy with the deal I got. Plan on tinting the windows before summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Congrats, too bad about the transmission though. My brother in law just got a 17 GTI se for 5150 off, picks it up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Nice. I do miss the Audis DSG. I think you'll grow to like it more each day. I met up with the new owner and drove it the other day which didn't help Sent from my Galaxy Note 8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I was just about to say something nice then I saw 2-pedal? Fail! Still, nice car for a... disabled person, grandma, or if you use valets often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 My friend just got one of these, same color, third pedal. I was amazed at the asking price, it's a hell of a bargain right now. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0n8 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks everyone Nice. I do miss the Audis DSG. I think you'll grow to like it more each day. I met up with the new owner and drove it the other day which didn't help I test drove a couple GTI's and an alltrack. Was impressed with the paddle shifting and since it's a daily it will be nice to just have it in drive. Congrats! I just picked up a 2015 Golf Sportwagon SEL TDI with DSG a few weeks ago myself. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwashmycar Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 .... I've seen a whole bunch of new Atlas's on the streets. Had to Google that one. Maybe I just thought it was a new Taureg if I saw one. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Had to Google that one. Maybe I just thought it was a new Taureg if I saw one. *shrug* Suppose to be its replacement and better compete with Explorer/Traverse/every other three-row SUV.

I've seen a whole bunch of new Atlas's on the streets. It was assembled in Mexico just like many American cars are so... Plus hangover from diesel gate, 2017 model, Americans need for all things big and inefficient (SUV's) probably all lead to a nice discount for a wagon.

Correct, VW is trying to dump the 2017 models so they can push the 2018 with the 6 year 72k warranty. IIRC they cant really market that warranty until the vast majority of the 2017's are off the lot. I had tried to work a deal on a 2017 Alltrack SEL with DAP and Lighting package and was offered it for 8K off MSRP but I ended up getting my TDI at a much better deal thanks to the diesel gate. Ive seen people getting up to 10K off MSRP out the door including taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0n8 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Funny thing is, VW is offering to match the 2018 warranty for a fraction of the savings. And it's not like the 2018 is any different than the 2017 model. About $15 extra a month for an extra 3 years and 36k miles of coverage directly form VW seemed like a good deal to me.

Flybye Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Congrats man! I just picked up a 2017 GTI Sport a few weeks ago and also took advantage of the $6k+ off. Mine is tornado red too...it looks so good on these cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizin01 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 cool car. I wish my wife would have liked the styling on these, we would have considered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 These are neat cars. my wife and I were considering one as a replacement for the audi but she wants the alltrek version. Finding stick ones has not been hard at all so I am surprised you went with the DSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding stick ones has not been hard at all so I am surprised you went with the DSG. I don't like all the plastic cladding or the increased wheel gap for the alltrack. I wouldn't turn one down if I got the same price but wouldn't be my first choice. Maybe because I wanted red it was harder to find a 4 motion with a manual? I know you can find the FWD S out there but they don't have heated seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GMoney Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The DSG is the correct transmission in that car. This is coming from person that enjoys daily driving 3 pedals over 30K miles a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Congrats! I'd never buy another manual after owning my DSG-R. Fun car and the transmission makes it even better for a DD. Just wish I could get a DSG in the US Passat R-Lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
