- 2018 Alltrack SE DSG
I'm a long time wagon lover, and big fan of the Mk7 platform. Traded in our '16 Golf TSi for this 2018 Golf Alltrack in May of 2018. We got a great deal, over $7K off sticker at the time, plus a healthy trade-in number on our Golf.
It's an SE, DSG, GFG over Titan Black interior. My ideal spec was a night blue over Marrakesh brown SEL, but couldn't pass up the price and the trade-in value we got on the Golf. I got rid of my other fun cars at the beginning of the pandemic (Stroked E30, E36 M3, Audi B5) and this became our only car as we were both working from home. Up until this past Spring, I had been very happy with the car, but then got the itch to begin adding power as I found it too clinical, and a bit dull compared to my other previous cars. It's been a great car, we've put 41K miles on it in 48 months of ownership.
