Yes, that's our Miata. It just crossed 99k miles. I should also add that the ride was quite good despite the bitter cold on all-season tires. Forums say the all-seasons that came with the car are better than the performance tires they are often fitted with. I see no need to lose these OEM tires, but since we will have winter tires, when they do wear out, we'll likely replace them with good summer performance tires. Finally, I'll point out that based on the clutch and gas pedal softness and smoothness/quietness, it's very easy on this car to accidentally let the clutch go with the engine at >2krpm and wear it out quickly. |

Congrats! Great spec, makes me miss our '15 SE. Ours was black, white/w black roof and wheels looks way better.
So now, more than one VW dealer seems to be dumb. The one that got your business and the one that didn't. What tires (a/s) did it come with? The '19 Alltrack came with Falkens that are worthless. We don't have them on for winter, but will likely toss them at the end of next fall. |

Congrats! Such a nice looking car. The key debacle sounds annoying - but will soon be forgotten

The sales guy we had was just clueless about everything. He is the guy who seems shocked that I cared about the badge in the back saying GOLF instead of GTI. Just surprises me he seemed to be such a non-car guy and so insensitive to quality issues or customer peeves.

Horrible customer service. Just says that they don't care and just want to make a sale. Write an email to the manager and copy VW Customer service.

Call and tell them you'll give them 1s on the survey if you don't have it or a tracking number showing it's been sent next day by [date of your choosing].
