    yeah BK we are psyched on the practicality of the wagon and getting 40-45 hwy mpg. She was looking at mini cooper, fit, and smart cars for their fuel consumption but at the same time we like to road trip/camp all the time. Didn't want to get a hybrid because of the cost and she fears having a half electric engine.

    In doing all the research for her it's tough to swallow all the things the "tdi freaks" recommend like "avoid all dealers they don't work on enough tdi's and will screw everything up".

    Is yours automatic DSG? I read that the 40k tranny maintenance is a bitch... like $400 every time. Doesn't really matter for us as we found a 6 speed.

    anyway we are going to look at it tonight

    • mini cooper gas mileage isn't that great... and test drive one first, the electric steering is weirdly remote feeling...vaxorcist
