Denver incident january 5 2017 update#
The last software update seemed to have corrected a few issues with the Apple CarPlay and nav map integration from the iphone (factory nav systems are a waste of money when you have the carplay app). I have 8500 miles on the car now and it has been flawless. German beats Japanese any day when it comes to vehicles. I am very satisfied with the Golf Sportwagen SE and do not regret the purchase in any way. VW does need to move the USB interface for the connection for the Apple CarPlay or make a notch to accomodate the USB cable when the access door is closed. That said, the improvement in technology in only six model years is astonishing and the panoramic sun roof is outstanding. The TSI engine works well at 75mph+ and is smooth at these highway speeds with peppy acceleration. At 65mph on a trip I have averaged 40-41mpg and at 75mph 37-38 range which is acceptable. The transmission also seems to hunt at low speed but it is not bothersome. It doesn't pull "off the line" line the diesel and unfortunately VW does not have a 6-speed in the SE line (which is sad). Struggling like many TDI owners for the "perfect replacement" for the perfect car, my 2011 VW TDI Sportwagen 6-speed, the 2017 Golf Sportwagen SE TSI exceeds my expectations. There are so many Ford dealerships in the Denver-metro area you DO NOT want to give them your business. They do not want anything to do with you. They are very nice to you while you're buying the vehicle and once that's complete you're on you own. I plan on leaving reviews on every site I can from Google Reviews to Yelp, BBB,, Autotrader, Edmunds and any other site I can find. I cannot put into words how disappointing the entire experience has been. I'm a paying customer who bought and F150 from the dealership and this is the level of customer service I received. This is absolutely the worst run dealership I have ever encountered. I had to drive from Castle Pines to the dealership 106 miles roundtrip twice just to get answers as to why I did not receive the extended warranty I paid for and still it's not been resolved. I left a total of 8 voicemails for Khemary & Richard in Finance and Jessica Barrett (sales manager) over the course of 2 weeks and did not receive a single call back. It started with waiting 3.5 hrs to complete the purchase only to be repeatedly given false information about the ESP PremiumCARE plan I purchased. The worst car buying experience I've ever had.
