CPO and TDI emissions warranty really made this a good deal, and the dealer added on complementary maintenance for 2 years. These post dieselgate TDIs seem to be great deals. Where else can you get a certified pre-owned 2012 car?

Manual of course. Also came with rubber floor mats.

60k on the clock, officially the lowest mileage vehicle I’ve owned.

Sunshine roof may prove to be problematic, but still really nice for now.

Came with an old iPod cord, gives new purposes to my old iPod photo.

Excited about the mpgees and fun ahead.

Very nice! I’m sure it was a good deal.

Hopefully the sunroof has a screen to cover it? I like those panoramic roofs, but you need to be able to cover it.

Enjoy!

A friend bought a Golf TDI new in 2012, he got excellent mileage with it.

There are some insane deals on these around here. I’ll need to know more. Like, for instance, this one.

I mean, where is the downside? Other than another $#@% white car, but really...

HP is low, but tq is respectable.

Good news about the pano  roof: if it was going to leak, it’d likely be leaking by now. If it’s dry, it means the drains were installed correctly and you shouldn’t have issues lest you leave it open in a thunderstorm.

This might be because my last vehicle was a 2000 Cummins but the Jetta doesn't feel slow.

That sunroof looks pretty damn awesome (I’m still stuck in the days of regular-sized sunroofs).

These are really good deals right now. Pre-Dieselgate you couldn’t touch one around here for under $20k, or if they were under $15k they had 150-200k miles. If I were car shopping now, this would be a strong contender....

It was one of the features that made me drive 2 counties over to get this one! That and saving $1000 and 20,000 miles less

DieselGeeks short shift linkage really changed the feel of the manual for me. I really miss the mileage out if my 12 TDI. Got over 600 miles to the tank on many occasions when driving from FL to CA.
