Not a Jetta wagon to be found!
I wanted to replace my '02 Passat wagon last year and was disappointed
to find that VW's no longer importing it. Now that I've finally decided that the Jetta wagon is a suitable replacement, I find that there aren't any. At the two local dealers I'd want to do business with, one has none, and has none coming. The other dealer has one on order, but doesn't expect it to arrive for several months, if at all. Neither found any in stock at any dealers in the region. They each had a couple of TDIs, but for me diesel isn't a practical option. Guess I'll put my name on the list for the '13s when they come out this summer. -- St. Paul, MN |

Amongst other things they do. To keep factories running at 100%. Good Luck getting one. |

At last count, Volkswagen had sold 29,097 of the new-for-2012 Passat sedans in the United States and 1961 in Canada, which means roughly 19,000 cars were either sold outside of the U.S. and Canada, or are on dealer lots/in special fleets. VW's estimated inventory stands at about a 70-day supply. Read mo http://wot.motortrend.com/volkswagen...#ixzz1pQ39RedW |

May I ask why? I just bought my first Euro car and the first Diesel. I drove several high economy cars and hybrids, and was shocked when I took off in the TDI Jetta the first time. |

Because there's only one station within miles of where I live that sells diesel. The stations out in the suburbs and beyond all seem to have it, but the older small stations here in the city don't. However, going back to my original whine, shortly after I made that post, about a half-dozen gas Jetta wagons showed up in town, and I now have a 2012 SE wagon and am, so far, quite happy with it. -- St. Paul, MN |

Even if I didn't pass a dozen Diesel pumps to and from work at better than 40MPGI can afford to shop P Have you gained any rattles or squeaks? I saw a complaint or two on TDIclub and I've developed an intermittent slight buzz in my drivers door. It seems to be about where the two different colored pieces meet near the door handle. |

Overall, the car's not quite as quiet as my old '02 Passat wagon, but compared to my wife's '02 Saturn, it's silent :-) -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |
