I ended up getting a 2019 GLI in 'Tornado Red' which I didn't care for at first but it's growing on me. It had a 6k discount and I'm guessing it was still on the lot because the dealer had it listed as automatic transmission when in fact it's a manula. Car is now at 6k miles and I love it! The...

Going to post this in here rather than making a new thread. Please excuse my ignorance, but can I go to a VW dealership and ask them for the oil and filter to do the change myself? I'm getting mudflaps installed at a shop and they let customers bring their own oil for changes. I'm really glad I...

Not sure if this is the right place to stick this but here goes. I just bought a new car and am looking at getting a clear bra professionally installed on the hood, front bumper, and possibly mirrors. Does anyone have any experience with these? I've seen 3M being mentioned a few times on the...

Originally Posted by JTK TCU, the CVT, transfer case and rear diff/coupling are pretty well sorted in a 2018 rogue. I personally like to do a series of drain/fills on them between 24-36k miles, then one per year assuming she's driving 12-20k/year. I find it as easy as an engine oil change to...

So rather than starting a new thread, it seems like there are some knowledgeable people here. I'll try not to hijack it too much. My gf and I recently purchased a 2018 Rogue with the CVT ~13,000 miles. The manual calls for inspection of transmission fluid every 20k miles. That seems a little...

I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on the new Jetta GLI. Seems like you already trust VW and they offer it in a 6 speed too. The Autobahn trim is a little out of my price range but it's within yours. I currently have a G37 S 6 speed that I would highly recommend to anyone, provided it...

If you want to take any road trips that require off road travel, I would absolutely side with your wife and stay as far away from a minivan as possible. My dad says to this day that one of the best decisions he ever made was to go with a Sequoia over a Sienna. That car has been on some gnarly...

VW has 0% for 72 months and the dealerships in and around Austin/San Antonio are discounting anywhere from $1,500 to $7,000 depending on the model. It says the 0% will only last until end of April but I'd imagine that will be extended too.

So I'm looking at the comparison between the S trim and the Autobahn and I noticed something that to me was strange. It said one of the features the Autobahn has that the S trim doesn't is an anti-theft/car alarm. I guess I was shocked that a brand new car in 2020 that costs $25k wouldn't have...

We just bought a 2018 Rogue with around 13k miles. Wasn't aware that the CVT's were such an issue and we did a good bit of research. Is it really that bad or are people on here being overdramatic?
