Used Car of the Day: MK7 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen
Today's UCOTD is a MK7 generation Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen of indeterminate model year.
We do know this car has 119K miles, a new clutch -- yes it's a manual -- 18-inch wheels, a slight lift over stock, sunroof, tinted windows, and aftermarket headlights and grille. Oh, and it's a TDI.
There does appear to be some minor cosmetic damage, such as scratches.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Was Corey not available to write this, or is he still suffering from PTSD?
I love my Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI 2.0. I don't mind the negativities thrown at it. Given another chance to buy another car I would buy VW again. If you are not a car nut then you buy Japanese or Korean or even Chinese. VW obviously are made for people who want to learn about cars. Learn to use tools ...scanners...not just DRIVING.
