Highline model shown Highline model shown Sportwagon fills niche for CUVlike space without the CUV prices Continued from page 17 9.5/6.6L/100 km city/highway and 9.6/6.7L/100 km for the automatic. The cars sold in Canada and the U.S. are identical except for the name. For some reason it is called the SportWagen in the U.S. and Sportwagon in Canada. In the U.S., the three trim levels are S, SE and SEL while in Canada it is Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. Standard features include 5.8-inch touchscreen interface, heated front seats and automatic postcollision braking, which warns the driver of an impending crash. What we do get in Canada is a standard backup camera on all models where the base U.S. models comes without. Options are numerous and include the Fender Premium Audio System and Climatronic automatic air conditioning. Cargo space is generous at 30.5 cu ft behind the back seat and 66.5 cu ft with the seat folded. Another plus is the low loading height of the wagon. The back seat can carry three adults, no problem, thanks to 903 mm of legroom. During a monsoon-like rainstorm in Austin where the Golf Sportwagon launch was held, I drove both the diesel and gasoline versions, with the TDI feeling very strong thanks to that 236 lb/ft of torque and the advantage of the dual clutch autobox.

The interior is very clean with extensive use of warm colours. The interior fitments of both the TDI (Comfortline) and TSI (Trendline) are very crisp and clean, especially the instrument panel and gauge package. Even on the base TSI, the aluminum look trim made my co-driver remark it was one the best in that price range. With the base TSI, the five-speed manual felt oldfashioned, making a case for the six-speed from the diesel. But I think most will opt the autobox regardless. However, in the five-speed TSI I averaged 33.7 mpg and this was in real world driving, and those were American gallons not Imperial. Pricing for the base TSI Sportwagon manual starts at $22,495 and $23,895 for the automatic. Comfortline manual/automatics are $24,695/$26,095 and Highlines, $30,495/$31,995. TDI Trendlines are $24,995/$26,395; Comfortline, $26,995/$28,395 and Highline, $32,795/$34,195. VW Canada believes station wagons are something that still has great appeal to those shopping in the economy market. And in a tsunami of CUVs, a wagon still makes a lot of sense.
