The new, Golf SportWagen (with Android Car Gps) replaces the former, Jetta SportWagen in Volkswagen's 2015 lineup. The move aligns the car's name with that of its European counterpart. The all new, front-wheel-drive SportWagen is offered in three trim levels 鈥?S, SE, SEL 鈥?with a choice of two engines and three transmissions. The new SportWagen is slightly larger, lighter and lower than the outgoing version. It wears the seventh-generation Golf styling well. The design is sporty and slightly stretched to somewhere between hatchback and wagon. My test car was silver 鈥?a color that I find boring on pretty much any vehicle. But, with a better hue and the right rims, I could see the SportWagen as a pretty rakish ride. Two, distinct engine choices are available. Standard is a 1.8L TSI four-cylinder. The turbocharged, direct-injection engine makes 170 horsepower @ 4,500 r.p.m. Torque ratings are 199 lb. 1,600 r.p.m. (automatic) and 184 lb.
1,100. EPA fuel economy is estimated at 25 mpg's city and 36 highway (manual), 25/35 (automatic). The other motor option is the 2.0-liter turbo diesel four. 1,100 to the bottom line, and is notable for the speed of its shifts, when used in manual mode. What about install a Car DVD? The torque converter automatic fitted in gas powered models (like my tester) is less entertaining to drive than the DSG is, in manual mode, owing to the lag between shift request and shift response. But, it works well enough with the 1.8T in automatic mode. The 1.8T engine cuts a nice balance between efficiency and responsiveness. Rear suspensions in SportWagen differ according to engine choice. TSI equipped models get a multilink setup while TDI cars use a torsion beam. Effectively, gas powered models have a sportier suspension, but not the sportier automatic transmission option. SportWagen's mixed heritage 鈥?part sport sedan, part station wagon 鈥?shows through in drivability. Steering and handling in TSI models are strong points. The car invites the driver to find corners to carve. That's something that can't be said about many/most crossovers 鈥?the breed most likely to be cross-shopped by prospective Golf wagon buyers. Depending on trim level, wheel/tire size is anywhere from 15-18 inches. My Golf was shod with a set of size 18s. On balance, the ride quality felt fine to me, but if you find it too stiff, remember to sample shorter rim/wider sidewall combos. All Sportwagens are front wheel drive 鈥?as of now. An all-wheel drive version is said to be in the works. If installing an Android Car Stereo in your car, that would be great!
The base S trim now has 16-inch steel wheels as standard, along with a rearview camera, LED daytime running lights, and two-tone cloth seats. It offers optional 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and a cold weather package. Midline SE adds Volkswagen Car-Net App-Connect connectivity and connected services, a sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, keyless access, push-button start and leatherette seats with rear pass-through functionality. SEL trim gains: a 1.8-liter, 170-hp TSI engine, power driver's seat, exterior chrome accents, automatic dual-zone climate control, a navigation system, rain-sensing wipers, front foglights, forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Editor's note December 22, 2016: This review was written based on an evaluation of the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. See the changes for the 2017 model year above. With its diesel emissions cheating, Volkswagen lost the trust of the American people, which is a shame because its gasoline-engine cars are still quite good.
