We got a Mk5 Sportwagen!
Just got a new to us 09 Mk5 Jetta Sportwagen SE with the 2.5L and auto trans. It's 1 owner with a Carfax that's 9 pages long and 150k miles. Just drove it home over 65 miles and damn what a nice highway cruiser. Is there anything I need to look out for in these? I've heard/seen great things about the 2.5L but I haven't seen much about the automatic transmissions.
I've noticed the driver rear window is not going down so I assume it needs a regulator. But is there anything else I should check before tearing apart the door and buying a new regulator?
One last thing is the center console in the rear has a broken latch and no cup holders by the looks of things. Is it common for that to break with regular usage or did someone yank a little too hard and break it by accident?
Anyways, I'm excited about our new purchase! I've always wanted a wagon and I know the Europeans do it best. So I'm glad to be hopping into this for the foreseeable future!
