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.

28-Cars-Later Suggestion for future QOTD: Given the fact US road infrastructure is crumbling around us why must all new cars have 20+ inch wheels with tires an inch or two thick in sidewall which literally become bent over time bc of potholes? I know initially in the 90s wheels got bigger to accommodate larger disc brakes but its gone a little too far given the road infrastructure don't ya think?

SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
