Non-Smokers car it's whole life!!!! They had the car since new, it was shipped over from Germany where it was built to their order, and sold in Canada. Car has been in Nova Scotia and Ontario (mainly), it's whole life. We used this car everyday for 1.5 years until this past fall. Tons of safety features, great crash rating, and built better than it's North America equivalents (the Big 3). Engine is turbocharged, and has lots of pep. Second set of rims (steel) with proper size winter tires (Michelin X-ice) and OEM VW Hubcaps. Should get 2-3 seasons out of the winters, see driving habits below. Nose cone bra included in sale. Rear seats are a near flat fold down style and have a 60/40 split. You can fit bicycles inside, car carrier on the roof (longitudinal bars are there from the factory), and there are even tie down loops at the four corners of the trunk compartment. Full size spare that matches the tire brand/variety installed currently. All Season tires (Michelin MXV4 195/60-R15) should have 1-2 seasons of driving short commute. I do not wear out tires much the way the car is driven, your usage may shorten the remaining life. Trunk does come with a privacy pull across/removable sun shade. Hides valuables, provides a fun spot to insert Comic character stuffed animals like Sid the Sloth. Great handling, original OEM Volkswagen suspension parts are on the vehicle. New axle boot installed last year, OEM axle retained! Timing belt was changed per OEM service intervals, as were all other maintenance related items. AC never worked when I owned the car, suspect a leak in the evaporator core per Volkswagen diagnosis before car was purchased. Car driven with no AC while we owned it. Heat is great, and all settings work. Turn signal switch or Hazard switch may be faulty, recall was done for the Hazard switch and new turn signal switch was installed previously to cure random ticking from the Hazard switch. No problem for turn signal function, just a ticking sound. Very common problem from what I researched before purchase. I decided to live with it. Dealer said ballpark $120 in parts for a signal switch. Shifter isn't as smooth into 2nd and 3rd, never had it looked at. Interior is very clean, usual wear on interior door handles (grey comes off and black base material can be seen), seats and carpet in great shape. Steam cleaned entire interior this fall, car has not been driven this winter except to clean off the brake rotors and keep the battery charged up. Small spots of surface rust here and there, much less than many cars this age, and one spot under a side moulding trim. Front glass is in great shape, and has been Aquapel treated or something similar as water beads right off while you are driving in the rain. 1 washer nozzle for the front windshield is loose, may need a replacement to clip back in place, operates fine the way it is now. Oil always changed with Synthetic to meet Volkswagen oil specs. These motors run fine with proper oil maintenance. Little things that are wrong with the car, I have two more cars that need attention including a car that I just rebuilt to drive this upcoming summer; Volks must go! I have 3 cars now, and the Passat is sitting in a parking spot that I now pay to rent. This is the nicest handling car I have ever owned, it drives very well. Fuel economy very good, much better than a V6 model. Got mid to high, 30+ MPG on the highway. Vehicle is AS IS, WHERE IS, be aware of this. Safety inspection, Emissions if you are required to have this for your area, are not part of this sale. Vehicle should not need much to pass Ontario Safety (if anything), no CEL/Check engine lights and passed E-test with near perfect score (closest to zero values you could get). Car drives very well, no abnormal noises/sounds that I can detect. Will be there to help shipping company/hauler, if you are having the car shipped to your location (shipped at buyers expense!) MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. TOO DARK WHEN POSTING AD TO GET PROPER PICTURES. PICS IN ADVERTISEMENT ARE FROM SUMMER 2013. RESERVE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY IF VEHICLE SELLS LOCALLY.

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US
Fri, Nov 21 2014Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.
Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Feds allege widespread Volkswagen cheating on clean-air rules
Fri, Sep 18 2015Volkswagen intentionally installed software in nearly a half-million diesel vehicles that helped the cars evade substandard results on emissions tests, the federal government charged Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to the German automaker, saying the company's software broke the law by violating two provisions in the Clean Air Act. Circumventing the standards meant affected cars emitted as much as 40 times the allowable level of certain pollutants. Both the EPA and California Air Resources Board have launched investigations. In its notice of violations, the EPA said Volkswagen officials admitted to installing and concealing what they call a "defeat device," which was designed to detect when the cars were undergoing official emissions tests – and only turn on emissions controls during that time. "Our goal now is to ensure that the affected cars are brought into compliance, to dig more deeply into the extent and implications of Volkswagen's efforts to cheat on clean air rules, and to take appropriate further action," said Richard Corey, executive officer of CARB. The allegations cover approximately 482,000 vehicles sold in the United States over the past seven years. Cars involved include diesel versions of the Jetta, Beetle, Audi A3 and Golf manufactured between the 2009 and 2015 model years. Passats manufactured for the 2014 and 2015 model years are also included. Federal officials note there is no safety danger to motorists, but the cars will be recalled for repairs. If true, Volkswagen faces a fine that could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- likely higher than the $300 million charge the EPA levied last November at Hyundai and Kia for exaggerating the fuel-economy in several models. The charges also put a tremendous dent into the company's plans to increase sales of its "Clean Diesel" vehicles in North America. In a written statement, Volkswagen Group of America acknowledged it had received the notices from the EPA and CARB. "VW is cooperating with the investigation; we are unable to comment further at this time," it said. Federal officials said the defeat-device software was uncovered during an independent analysis by researchers at West Virginia University, who in working with the International Council on Clean Transportation, a non-governmental organization, raised questions about emissions levels.
