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.

Bosch: Diesel demand still strong, despite VW scandal
Fri, Oct 16 2015Like an auto racer's results on the circuit, Volkswagen's recovery from its diesel-emissions scandal may well depend on spin control. That's what Bosch Chairman Volkmar Denner said in recent remarks at an event in Germany, Reuters reports. Bosch is a major VW supplier, of course, so it does have some skin in the game. Denner said he hasn't seen signs that demand for diesel vehicles has fallen yet in the wake of a scandal in which software in VW diesels was programmed to game emissions-testing systems. Denner says the ultimate impact on diesel sales will depend largely on the "campaign" VW will use to assure the general public that its diesels remain a viable way for drivers to boost fuel economy and lessen their impact on the environment. Of course, there have been hints that VW may pivot to more electric vehicles and distance itself away from diesels in the coming years. As a VW supplier, Bosch has been connected to the diesel scandal, it has repeatedly said that the problems were all VW's fault. Europe's biggest automaker lost its CEO in the wake of last month's scandal and has set aside $7.3 billion to address the issue. As many as 11 million VWs may have been programmed with the cheating software. Governments around the world are trying to address the issue. France may eliminate diesel-fuel subsidies, while all VW diesels in Australia have been recalled. And California has given VW until November 20 to detail how it would fix the problem.

2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen First Drive [w/video]
Wed, Mar 25 2015Volkswagen currently offers five Golf models in the US, and in just a few weeks it will add the 2015 SportWagen to the lineup. The previous version sold as the Jetta SportWagen, although it was technically a Golf. For the new model, VW product planners decided to align all the hatchbacks under the same name. The SportWagen employs the same engines as the Golf, but significantly stretches its new MQB architecture. The result is greater practicality in the form of cargo room. With the seats up the SportWagen holds 30.4 cubic feet, almost 8 more than the Golf. The gap widens to nearly 14 cu ft with the seats folded; a max capacity of 66.5 cu ft puts the SportWagen into compact crossover territory. That added functionality leads VW to think it can sway buyers shopping the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. And with the high-mpg diesel variant – 31 mpg city, up to 43 highway – VW hopes to lure those considering fuel-sipping MPVs like the Toyota Prius V and Ford C-MAX. What separates this Golf from those other two segments is the driving prowess we've come to expect from Wolfsburg's best-selling nameplate. While the silhouette is similar to the outgoing Jetta wagon, designers honed the character lines to give the Golf SportWagen a more modern, angular aesthetic. The LED headlights look sharp, the hood now scoops down at a steeper angle into the front fenders, and the general proportions – in line with other Golf models – have changed. The new SportWagen is lower, longer, and wider and than the Jetta SportWagen it replaces. Specifically, it is 1.1 inches longer, 0.7 inches wider, and despite being about an inch lower, actually boasts more headroom. Inside, things look pretty familiar to the current Golf family. There are small, premium touches such as a sporty, flat-ish-bottom wheel, piano-black trim, and an optional one-touch panoramic sunroof that makes the cabin a bright, airy, and pleasant place to be. Otherwise, it's your standard Golf fare, but with a whole lot more room out back. The same two engines that power the standard Golf – the 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-four TSI, and 2.0-liter turbocharged TDI diesel – are also found under the hood of the SportWagen. Gasoline-powered models come with a five-speed manual or a traditional six-speed auto, while the TDI gets six-speed transmissions across the board – either as a row-your-own manual, or a dual-clutch DSG auto with steering wheel-mounted paddles.
The VW Sport Coupe GTE Concept promises exciting things for brand's future [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015In recent years, it seems as though the Audi allotment of design talent from the Volkswagen Group has gotten braver, while the VW designers have become more conservative. One look at the current Volkswagen range reveals a lot of tidy sheet metal, but hardly any that rank as evocative or emotionally compelling. If the rhetoric around this Sport Coupe GTE Concept turns to action, however, VW's mass-marketed cars could become a lot more interesting to look at. Sharp creases and bold graphics can be found on just about every inch of the concept, and the large wheels at either extreme corner help to sell this as a "four-door coupe" more than most executions of that now hackneyed styling term. And, if you like what you see, then you might want to hold out for quickly approaching versions of this look on production models. Design head Walter de Silva says this language will be "shaping the immediate future" for VW product. Mechanically, the Coupe also previews more hybridization for the VW line. The concept has a plug-in hybrid powertrain, with a turbo 3.0-liter V6 driving the front wheels, and an electric motor sending yet more power to the rear. You can read up on the details in our official post from a few days ago, or just click through the pretty pictures in the gallery above. SPORT COUPE CONCEPT GTE MAKES WORLD DEBUT AT THE GENEVA AUTO SHOW Four-door coupe marks beginning of a new design era at Volkswagen Wolfsburg/Geneva, March 2015 -Volkswagen will debut the Sport Coupe Concept GTE at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show, heralding a new and progressive Volkswagen design language. "Evolution and revolution come together in the Sport Coupe Concept GTE. This concept is based on Volkswagen design DNA, which has been visibly sharpened even more. It shows how the highest-volume brand of our Group is shaping the immediate future," says Walter de Silva, Head of Design of Volkswagen AG. Dr Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen Brand Board Member for Development, elaborates: "This breathtakingly dynamic coupe is unlike any other to appear in this class. The design of the Sport Coupe Concept GTE is an impressive alternative to the classic sedans of the B and C segments-it has the style of a sport coupe that is enriched by the functionality of a large hatchback and the interior space of a sedan." Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design of the Volkswagen Brand, adds: "The Sport Coupe Concept GTE is another milestone of expressive design.
