Today's UCOTD is a MK7 generation Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen of indeterminate model year.

We do know this car has 119K miles, a new clutch -- yes it's a manual -- 18-inch wheels, a slight lift over stock, sunroof, tinted windows, and aftermarket headlights and grille. Oh, and it's a TDI.

There does appear to be some minor cosmetic damage, such as scratches.

A stick-shift diesel wagon? The automotive journalist's dream car.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Was Corey not available to write this, or is he still suffering from PTSD?

I love my Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI 2.0. I don't mind the negativities thrown at it. Given another chance to buy another car I would buy VW again. If you are not a car nut then you buy Japanese or Korean or even Chinese. VW obviously are made for people who want to learn about cars. Learn to use tools ...scanners...not just DRIVING.

Fred Stream Spotify, Radio Paradise, Jazz24 thru Android Auto. I have a lot of music and podcasts on my phone that I can bluetooth to the stereo. I use an app Folder Player that doesn't work with AA because Google doesn't like to free up the file system to AA.
Fred And why wouldn't they claim success? They are pretty smart folks over there and they can borrow from Audi who already have hybrids and EVs Not to mention their hypercars and F1 program
El scotto Your cell phone has a serial number. Everything in your vehicle that receives radio frequencies has a serial number. All of these serial numbers are in at least one database. Most of these devices are in a least two databases; who made the device and who is sending you info.For most of us our cell phones, anything from a satellite (Sirius, GPS maps), and the modem in your vehicle can be tracked. I'm not sure how hard it would be to disconnect your vehicle's modem but I would imagine it's very hard.The real question is: What is your being connected/being surveyed comfort ratio/level?What's the frequency Kenneth?
The Oracle Oh wow, figure it out Ford.
Jan Smith Did you hit up a level 2 charger @ ChargePoint? Please explain that whole paragraph because to an uneducated person looking to buy an EV that insert about EV charging would throw them off. 😄
