Hi all,
Following up on the recent thread regarding the VW Jetta, I'm curious to find out what other station wagons (not SUVs, not hatchbacks, but proper wagons) folks are using in Europe. I'm currently using a 2002 VW Passat VR6 Wagon (Variant) with the 4motion drive train and it's been wonderful as a tow vehicle. Unfortunately, as is typical of more recent VW gas (petrol) powered vehicles, it seems to be falling apart just as it hit 120,000 miles (complete replacement of cooling system and sensors, all 6 coils shot, suspiciously loud valve noise starting). Current replacement candidates include: - Another Passat wagon if VW starts importing the TDI for 2008 - Maybe the Jetta wagon instead - BMW 325xi if I can find out whether there are tow hitches (BMW US does not list towing capacity and none of the aftermarket hitch manufacturers lists a hitch) - Subara Legacy or Outback My first preference is a Diesel for multiple reasons. Unfortunately, there's a lull in the US while manufacturers come up to speed on the new polution regs. Any thoughts or alternatives for vehicles in this class appreciated. Erik Mann |
