Used Car of the Day: 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack SE
Another day, another wagon. Today's car-enthusiast catnip comes courtesy of Columbus, Ohio (home to many a TTAC'er) and this 2017 Volkswagen Alltrack has three pedals. Yay!
The seller is asking $25,000 for this car, which has under 29,000 miles. It's an SE trim with a panoramic sunroof, black leatherette seating, ACC, park distance control, and heated seats. There's a two-inch receiver for things like hitch-mounted bike racks.
That's two wagons in a row. One is much older and has Hemi power, the other has a stick. Don't ever say we don't know what car enthusiasts like. Pick your poison.

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.

These seemed like such a good deal at the time. I came soooo close to buying one, but I needed just a bit of towing capacity. Also had recently had a less than perfect experience with a 2001 Passat wagon. Beautiful car, but ate brakes (which were expensive) and would throw alarming messages (OIL PRESSURE WARNING. STOP VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY) on the dash for no apparent reason.
I own an almost identical car, with close to 140k on it. And it’s been the best car I’ve ever had. I got incredibly lucky a few years ago and got mine, clean one owner with 70k for a fraction of that. But it’s still worth every cent, and is a couple tunes away from Golf R power. Also fun fact, the suspension stiffness is close to the GTI and roll bars are the same as Golf R
