Wagon Stoke

Awesome - thanks Bobby. If anyone is interested in this car, let me know.

What did you pay for your Golf R? Thinking of selling my fiesta ST and getting something with AWD.

I lucked out... They'd been sold out in NA for months, but I found one in KS City that ended up at a BMW dealer after 500 miles. Paid $34k.

I might be up for selling mine. Let me know if you'd be interested. 38k, ~330hp, winter tires and wheels, thule rack. It's a sweet car... I was blasting by half the state of TX on I-40 today thinking how fucking dumb I am for even considering selling it. Still haven't found something I'd prefer.

Cool, I appreciate it. Realistically won't be looking at trading in until summer, but if your R is still around then we should talk. I loved the Fiesta living in KY, with better roads, but living in Boston area now it's a bit miserable driving around in. Largely been parked for the last 9 months.

Austin - I should have bought a C30 or V50 a long while back, but I didn't because under long-term MPA orders I didn't have the stability to do so and some hits came my way which depleted the savings I was making (a genius asshole Squadron CC had given away our activation, thought he'd make rank by offering to the AF to cancel our activation to save them money by doing mass MPAs instead, and predictably that was used against us while also giving no dependable structure). Anyway once I was up and running in my current career (took awhile), when I finally had the wherewithal to upgrade from my 240 wagon, the S60 was available and Volvo released a bunch of corporate car T6 R-Ds to dealers to sell used, so I jumped into that instead.

So, unfortunately I was a bit biased when I was finally able to test drive the C30 (It kind of was between the Polestar edition and my S60 I ended up with, very clearly apples and oranges, but the 60 was kind of my dream car at the time. Happy with what I've had, just wish I'd had the 30 too). Anyway, I thought the C30's styling was kind of dumpy for awhile, needed a bit of a refresh, resembled an Audi TT for me for a long time. Finally at the last year or two they updated it. Inside it had that Volvo trademark waterfall dash console, but it was a generation previous to the S60 I'd gotten used to so monochromatic green displays vs the giant color display, just felt dated and maybe a bit cramped. Still respectable scoot and handling although since it was a test drive and I didn't buy my 60 from this particular dealer the saleman in the test drive with me was a bit of a dick, so no chance to push it to get a feel for the handling.

Really wish Volvo had kept that whole C30/S40/V50 line alive in the US, they need a lower-end and lower-priced product to offer on par with the 240 of days old. They went through a weird SUV phase where the only wagon you could get was the XC70, and just now have restarted the lower end with the XC30. The S60 is great, but they get stoopid expensive fast, mine as equipped would have been over 49k at retail and since it wasn't the base S60 there's little ability to make a deal, dealers aren't swimming in R-d stock to get rid of.

The forthcoming V60 is a good looking car. Do not dig the likely drivetrain options.

Well, it’s nothing special but I’m nonetheless stoked. New ride. Found an older T6 with low miles in near perfect condition.

Those seem like they would be great highway cruisers.

Some can have very stiff suspension, but the seats are butter!

I had one for a bit. The seats were sweet.

Nice ride ski-wpk.

Probably trading in my beauty this weekend. Going back to a truck. Sucks. Love this car. SLC mags keep an eye out.

Saw Volvo will include the upcoming V60 in the Subscription program. Didn't see numbers, curious what they'll be, XC30 is $599 T5/$699 T6 RD...

[Labcabin]

Xc30? In America?

This thing is beautiful, all the fancy features. I thought the s-line had the suede, more bolstered seats for some reason though.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

It's S-Line Premium Plus. No suede.

Anyway, just traded her in. Sad day, but I needed a truck again. When I am a real adult in a few years hopefully I can buy another sweet wagon.

Getting out of the white wagon and into the grey one. Not a "wagon" but really not much different

Spotted this beast at a local car show last summer. Note the sweet ski racks.

I need a vehicle that can tow a small 3,500 trailer for my hippster camping adventures.
The only wagon that can do that is likely a 2018 Jaguar, which at $75k is a little much or an E400, which I hate the looks of, so what else to consider? I hate trucks and really don't care for SUVs, but likely need to go down that road. Seems like a Toyota Sequoia may be the call. Kind of ugly and big, but likely the most reliable way to go. Your thoughts?
