I too prefer cloth and a stick, but the manuals are rare and fetch an even heftier premium. The other issue was seats...VW seats are historically excellent....but they put a cheaper version in the lesser trims. Would have cost me $2500 to swap out.TwoIfByTea » 12 Sep 2025, 8:42 am » wrote: ↑ I gotta 2015 Jeep Patriot base model brand new stick shift and crank windows 15k out the door .
Again base model just a 4 banger and 5 speed and cloth interior no luxuries or extras basic Am/Fm Cd stereo..
63 thousand miles so far and warrantly expired long ago now but other than a sensor , new brakes battery and set of tires and oil changes gets me around and serves my needs
Most people aint happy with something that basic no extras but I got brand new with a 5 year warranty too ..
Used cars are a crapshoot sometimes ya get lucky find something decent last ya 5/10 years without much problems..
Others Breakdown next month and already sticking $$$ into em right off the bat
The AllTrack is a seller's market....had I been willing to go with a top of the line '22 Tiguan, it is a buyer's market.
But I am desperate to avoid driving an SUV.
