So much fun to drive!!!

This car is the perfect combo of utility and performance. Haul your bike, skis, whatever -- but still have a super zippy car that is a joy to drive! Interior is thoughtfully designed and really comfortable.

Great value for a great price for a fairly new veh

You get good quality, technology and creature comforts in a 2017 VW Alltrack. It's comparable to a Subaru Crosstrek or Outback. I think the quality on the VW is a little better though the Subaru may have an advantage of your spending more time off-road. Creature comforts of the VW are better.

Fan to drive and reliable.

I love driving this car. Is very reliable in any conditions. Great technology and safety options. The all wheel drive gives you confidence to drive it in the snow. Great looking and fun car.

Great Car-I want to buy a newer model year

This is one of my all time favorite cars-cant wait to buy a 2019/2020. Great multi-use wagon. This VW is great in all weather conditions, its also fun and sporty to drive.

Great and comfortable.

Great car for the one I replaced. I owed the TDI Sports-wagon before and now the Alltrack. Great car. Good milage and handling. Great on road and off road.

Like it so far.

I test drove several small SUV's and crossovers, as well as sedans like the Jetta and Accord. I drove 2 different accords over the past 15 years and loved the reliability and fuel economy. To my surprise the Alltrack wagon is already getting better MPG than my accord in mixed city and hwy driving. I like all the technology features and styling, and the wagon gives me the option of larger cargo vs. a sedan. The DSG transmission allows several modes, including manual shifting which is incredibly versatile when you need quicker acceleration across an intersection or merging in traffic.

Good Ride, Practical

Car has been reliable except for a sunroof leak that was fixed by Volkswagen. Car steers, handles, and brakes well. All wheel drive provides some security in inclement weather. Engine is a bit underpowered and runs out of power above 5000 rpms. Fuel average is around 26 in mixed driving. Biggest issue is potentially expensive maintenance and repairs. I have an extended warranty.

One of the best cars I've ever owned

It's with a heavy heart that I'm selling this car--I bought this car not long after purchasing my 3rd Subaru (longtime Subaru lover but I didn't love the Crosstrek) and have loved every moment. Beautiful clean design, comfortable and plenty of power.

Reliable, great performance, love the styling

I am an outdoor enthusiast (skiing, hiking, golf, kayaking, etc ) and my GA meets all of those needs and more. I owed a Passat Altrack V8 Wagon for several years prior to this car, so was concerned my Golf would live up to my expectations, it has.
