Spotted at my own house.
I'm sick of chasing down stuff on my V70R. I fixed the mechanical part of the AWD (new coupler, used angle gear), only for the electronics to sh*t the bed, vomiting so much crap on the CANbus that the dash board shut down. Then the steering rack developed some play. Then a wheel bearing started going (and you can only turn the stereo up so loud). THEN I saw rust starting to poke through in two spots. The underside of the car is super clean, so I'm guessing poor prep from a long-ago respray. Oh, and it needs shocks too. And the cruise control started taking breaks the last time I drove it to MD.
Observation: the Golf SportWagen 1.8T is the only AWD 6MT wagon on the market, it's built on the underneath-a-million-VAG-products MQB platform, 7/72 warranty, nobody wants them, and they're cheap. $22,340 out the door, all negotiated via email. It's a stripper in the modern sense of the word, which means it still has alloy wheels, heated (cloth!) seats, AndroidAuto/CarPlay, cruise, etc. I haven't measured myself but I was told the seats-down space is 1" narrower and 3/4" longer than my Volvo.
Right now it's quiet and comfortable (and slow) but I'll be sure to ruin it soon.
