Hello fellow Sportwagen/Alltrack owner
Howdy! It's a 2016 FWD Sportwagen "Limited Edition". I had only had it for a few months at that point and we took it from:
Rock Hill, SC -> Nashville, TN -> Waco, TX -> Santa Fe, NM -> Joshua Tree, CA -> Los Angeles, CA -> Big Bear, CA -> Las Vegas, NV -> Hoover Dam -> Amarillo, TX -> Memphis, TN -> Nashville again for a coffee -> Asheville, NC to see a friend for dinner -> back to Rock Hill
Around 6,000 miles in all, took it like a champ and averaged 35-40mpg. It's no Miata but it's fun enough, safe, and practical. I just wish it was a manual sometimes... Also sometimes I have dreams of this: https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/since-we-cant-buy-a-golf-r-sportwagen-im-making-my-own.9276671/
