Detailed Description;
Pros for the car, this baby's a cruiser. Careful not to speed! It's easy to do in this thing. It's got a smooth running six-cylinder engine that practically glides along the highway. She just had new tires put on her, and just came back from the mechanic with all systems go. The car is in good condition with average wear. She runs well, with a slew of features for a comfortable ride. All of its features work like a charm, or at least the ones I'm aware of. The owners' manual went missing (sorry folks), so there's all kinds of bells and whistles I've never tapped into. There's a pull up shade for the rear window (if you can see it, it's up in the pics). The windshield wipers are automated and go faster or slower depending on the rainfall. The rearview mirror does this neat trick when its dark; it dims the oncoming headlights so they don't blind you while you drive. The climate control is a great feature, allowing for very precise heating and cooling. The air conditioner was repaired last month and blows icy cold. For the winter time there's heated seats. Everything in this car is powered, from rearranging the mirrors to your snazzy memory settings on the powered seats. Note the pretty blue and red light show on your dashboard when the headlights are turned on, as well as the lovely wood finishes. Your dashboard includes a little analog display that tells you how many miles you have left in your gas tank, as well as the miles you're getting to the gallon (average of about 26-28 MPG), and the ever-so-polite 'Please Refuel' message when the time comes. The back middle seat folds down into cup holders/table setting for the kiddies or your friends on those long road trips. The car is clean, with all of the carpets stain free and lookin' good accept for the little place beneath the accelerator. It just looks like stubborn dirt, so a good scrub would get it out. The car has a moon roof and very large trunk, which is also unscathed. I put the seats down to fit a bicycle in there no problem. Another interesting feature, it drives as an automatic, but has the option to shift manually. I could never get the hang of the manual drive because the car doesn't have a clutch, but it's there if you want to use it! The interior is fully functional with all the lights working, etc. See below for the things that are worn on the car.
The exterior paint has a few very minor scratches, the worst of which is on the left rear bumper and is a dark scuff mark about 4-inches long. There's a tiny ding on the passenger side door. Everything else was small enough that I had a hard time finding them again. The rest of the exterior checks out. Biggest cons of the car, there's some wear on the interior. In no way has it affected my enjoyment of the car, nor its overall appearance. I just want to present an honest listing. It's still a very comfortable ride and I recently scrubbed it to a shine, but the drivers' seat has a worn tear in it, and the passenger seat is worn and the leather has cracked. It's not ripped on the passenger side, just cracked. The back seats are in fine condition, and the luxury leather finishes are still in good shape. I noticed a very small (less than 1/4 inch) slit in the leather finish on the left rear door, and the wood finish is cracked a bit on the passenger side door. The window button on the drivers' side that operates the passenger window will roll the passenger window down but not up...to be clear, the window button on the passenger side works fine both ways. The cover for the bass knob on the stereo is missing (see pics), though it doesn't affect its function. The floor mat in the back seat on the right side used to be anchored down to a plastic disk, kind of like a really big button. It popped off somehow, and I never 'buttoned' it back on because it would take a little bit of force to do this. Lastly, the sealant (??? not sure what to call this. It seems to be a thin, clear coating that makes the plastic in the car appear satiny) has worn away where there was the most friction (around the drivers' side window buttons, the glove compartment, etc.).
Aaaaand, that's it. No cons to report otherwise. This car belonged to my dad, and he recently gave it to me after buying a new one. All of the bazillion options on it just really aren't my style. I have my heart set on an old 1989 convertible, and so I'm trying to get the cost of the car I want covered. My dad primarily used the Passat to drive to and from work for the past 10 years. He's a non-smoker. The car has never been in a single accident and the title is clear. He's been the only owner besides myself, and I just got the car two weeks ago. I wouldn't even be selling it if I didn't have my heart set on this old convertible I found.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
VW admits 430,000 2016 models have implausible CO2 ratings
Mon, Nov 16 2015Volkswagen finally explained more details about its CO2 rating scandal in Europe and admitted that 430,046 of the estimated 800,000 affected vehicles with "implausible" figures came from the 2016 model year. They included some from Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW, and VW Commercial Vehicles, according to the automaker's list (as a PDF). The problem mostly impacts diesel engines, but the inventory also shows some gasoline mills. VW will next determine the accurate CO2 emissions for these vehicles, and the German Federal Vehicle and Transport Authority will supervise that process to ensure the data's veracity. The automaker will also launch websites in Europe to let owners enter their model's VIN to check whether it's affected. Because governments there often link vehicle taxes and CO2 production, the company promises to work with regulators in each country to cover any fees that result from the inaccurate figures. VW announced the CO2 scandal earlier in November and estimated the equivalent of $2.2 billion to fix it at the time. A later report claimed that a group of engineers were responsible for fabricating the emissions data. They allegedly couldn't meet reduction goals from Martin Winterkorn, and between 2013 and this spring the workers did things like overinflate the tires during testing to achieve the desired results. VW is also closer to a fix in the diesel emissions scandal. According to an anonymous insider to Bloomberg, the company has a repair for the 1.6-liter engine that's reportedly neither very complex nor expensive. German regulators would still need to approve the solution before it could roll out to owners. Next step in clarifying the CO2 issue Affected Volkswagen Group models of the current model year have been identified Customers being informed via website Discussions with the authorities have begun The Volkswagen Group reports that the vehicles of the 2016 model year affected by the CO2 issue have been identified. There is thus now clarity about the new vehicles of the current model year out in the marketplace. On 3 November 2015, the Group had already reported that irregularities may have arisen in determining the CO2 figures for type approval of around 800,000 vehicles. This was identified during its own currently ongoing investigations and had been made public. The internal investigations into the current vehicles of the 2016 model year provide results for narrowing down the actually affected vehicles with implausible CO2 figures.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
