The 2019 Golf SportWagen is a near prefect car for our needs. it has sufficient power to be easily driven at freeway speeds all day. At the same time, it is small enough to be comfortable in city driving. The safety features and displays are state of the art, yet they recognize the driver as being the person in control. There is plenty of cargo space. With the rear seat folded, there is enough room for two adult bicycles in the back of the car. The car is very comfortable and the cloth sear option if VERY pleasant. The VW SportWagen is a VASTLY superior option to the panoply of ridiculous SUV choices, all of which are too big physically while having less cargo room. Good gas milage is a given. This may well be the last of the truly excellent small station wagons. The VW makes a good comparison with the Audi Avant and Allroad, but at a considerably reduced price point. There is not a car that I would rather have.

Love it. For the class it feels roomy, with a large cargo area. Peppy engine but I will repeat what almost all other reviewers. Have said, there is some lag at higher speeds when wanting to pass and press on the ecelerator . The steering wheel could be a tad firmer but that being said it responds with ease. It’s fun to drive , utilitarian and looks sporty for a station wagon.

I believe all new cars regardless of trim should have lane assist and collision avoidance features including ACC.
