Over 11,000 miles so far. I’m enjoying it. I wish fuel economy was better, but otherwise, it’s a great car.

Pretty sure I should recognize that Kroger but it escapes me. That's pretty fun. I know I've seen one or two Silk Blue Sportwagens running around that area before but never any blue Alltracks.

There’s two TDI Silk Blue wagons in Paulding. This is in Dallas by Chattahoochee Tech.

I don’t go out that way very often but a lot of shopping centers like pretty alike. I think the ones I usually see were diesels so they may be the same ones. No idea really but the color is uncommon enough.
Also nice early green Kia Sportage. Forgot that nameplate was around so long.

Now if it was the Kroger on Whitlock Ave with the CFA inside, I’d be shocked if you didn’t identify that!

Was it advertised with better fuel economy than your experiencing? Hehehe

The first post I ever made here the location was identified by like 3 people. It was a DOTS at the Chipotle on Barrett. Then I had someone recognize the Whitlock Kroger in a DOTS too. That one is pretty distinctive.

I’m getting a bit above the city mileage, but that’s factoring in “highway” driving, too.
My motto for cars? Take the EPA combined rating, subtract 3, and that’s what I’d probably get. I’d get worse mileage in my RAV4, but that was quick local driving.
Oh wait, I do that now, too!

I’m glad I dealt with Stone Mountain instead of Jim Ellis (by Chipotle), but do you know what I really liked about Jim Ellis? Test driving. They let me, a 20-year-old, take a test drive by myself in a $35K sticker car. The fact they treated me like an adult and not a little kid is something I respect. Stone Mountain let me drive when I was 20, too. Some dealers make you be 21 to drive, which is disrespectful. I remember DTG telling me about a similar scenario.

That's impressive. I suppose they figure VWs aren't usually test driven on joyrides given they don't sell many fast or exciting vehicles besides the Arteon. I like the Sportwagen but I wouldn't choose one to take on a test drive joyride.
