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.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini
Mon, Dec 7 2015If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.
Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
