No, there’s nothing shady or dishonest about it at all. VW dropped the JSW and put it on the Golf MQB platform which means it’s a different vehicle than the Jetta except for some engines and transmissions. It’s not like they refreshed it and then called it a Golf, it is actually a Golf now.
Get the Tacoma. Get an older one. Towing a bike or two will not be a problem. Get a manual one if you don’t like the trans. Bikes are light, side by sides are light, quads and jet skis are light. My roommate tows his yamaha Kodiak 450 4x4 ATV with an old honda minivan.
Ah yes, the Golf. The one car in the whole VW lineup that seems to be doing OK in the US. The same platform is used to produce the superb Euro Passat. So much potential. And yes, so much idiocy. VW could make real money in the US:
I have had a puish button start car for a year and a half now - I am now so proud of myself for not killing myself or anyone I was with.
InB4: don’t you mean his and HIS Miata. huehuehue
