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.

Bd2 If I had time to watch other people driving, then I would go for LMP.
Steve Biro There are 24 races on this year’s F1 schedule. And I guarantee you no more than two will be reasonably exciting, Meanwhile, F1’s reception for Andretti reveals the dark underbelly of the sport. I have followed F1 since the 1960s and, frankly, I am running out of interest. I’ll catch a race if it’s convenient but won’t bother DVRing them.
YellowDuck Been watching since the 80s, seriously since the 90s once we had reliable TV coverage. I'm in Canada though. Hey, and don't forget that the Interlagos race is also in a convenient time zone, as is Mexico. So that's 5 races in the Americas. Absolutely love it, but it takes a bit more interest in the technical / strategic side of things to really appreciate it. It's not just going fast in circles until someone crashes into someone else, while drunk people watch. The US can be proud of what it has contributed - Austin is one of the best tracks on the calendar, Vegas turned out to be much better than anyone could have hoped, and even Miami - a real Indy car-style track - produced a good race this year.
JMII I watch every F1 race, same with Indycar which is 100X better in terms of actual racing.
Dale Quelle surprise.
