Used Car of the Day: 2017 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen
It is yet again time to showcase the type of car that makes automotive journalists drool -- a manual transmission wagon. In this case, a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen.
This S 4Motion has 111,000 miles on it and is quite modified. There's a GTI seat swap and uninstalled components for a 2-inch lift. Other mods include a clutch kit and turbo upgrade, a high-flow cat and downpipe, a high-pressure fuel pump, an aluminum intercooler, a steel oil pan, an adjustable front sway bar kit, winter tires, and new front brakes. There's more over at the ad.
If you're in the New England area, or just a fan of stick-shift wagons, give it a look here. The ask is $16,500.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I'm going to be as vain as possible here.....
I love, Love, LOVE this thing and the focus - tartan seats, manual, big knobby tires on a wagon.
Ok, done. Why couldn't the seller bother to vacuum the interior? Sellers who don't have damn near OCD levels of cleanliness when selling a car make me nervous.
Buy a Skoda Superb.
