Hello all just joined the forum to try and get some informed opinions on a 2017 Alltrack. Let me first say that I've never owned a VW before but have a good friend who is loyal to the brand.
In the market for a new car and went to the local VW dealer to drive a 2017 S 4motion Alltrack (on the advice of my VW buddy). Gotta say I was happy with the test drive and fit/finish of the car. The saleswoman gave me a great price and now I am seriously considering making the purchase but am a little concerned with some of the reliability reviews I've seen. My friend only drives TDI's so I would like some advise from gas motor people.
I have always done all my own maintenance and take great care of my vehicles, have run multiple Japanese cars well over 150k without major repairs.
Is the 1.8 Turbo and 6 speed DSG a reliable drivetrain?
Are all the stories of electrical gremlins true or exenterated?
Any advise appreciated!
