VW pre owned Wagon's make for great used options

Picture it: The Brady Bunch in Munich. Never mind all the ridiculous jokes we could get out of Alice making wiener schnitzel or Cindy trying to master a German accent (baby talk, indeed). The station wagon in this episode would be cool. Why? Because we're in Europe where such things are possible.
Seriously, the Europeans have a different take on the station wagon. More cargo or passenger space does not equal boxy, stodgy and uncool. It simply equals more cargo space. The speed and handling of the vehicle doesn't have to change with an adapted
shape or a couple more seats. Dealers of West Palm Volkswagen used cars want customers to understand that they can have the space they need in a car that's fun to drive.
The Passat was the first Volkswagen in wagon form to reach the U.S. and in the 1970s it featured a hatchback. It eventually expanded in size and then was given an all-wheel drive system. Customers looking for West Palm VW pre-owned cars aren't likely to find a model this old, but will find some great deals on pre-owned wagons.
We're going to look at two of the most beloved VW wagon models – the Jetta and the Passat and show you why Volkswagen is an expert in designing a car for the family and all their stuff. The 2001-2004 Volkswagen Jetta wagon has a sharp profile but a conservative look overall and comes with many engine choices. From a 2.0-liter four cylinder to a 2.8-liter V-6 and later a turbocharged four-cylinder, all have their fans. The transmission choices were varied as well with five-speed manual or four- and five-speed automatics.
When it comes to the interior, simple is a good description with bucket seats providing plenty of room for even adult passengers. With the rear seats folded down the cargo space increases to an impressive 52 cubic feet. The standard cargo space in the wagon compartment is 34 cubic feet, still quite impressive.
Moving on to the 2007 Passat wagon, it also has seen its share of different engines: a 2.0 liter four-cylinder, which has been turbocharged or a 3.5 liter V-6 which pulls 280 horsepower. The semi-automatic Tiptronic six-speed transmission is featured with the second engine. Larger and a bit more upscale than the Jetta wagon, the Passat interior features leatherette seats, MP3 and CD player, power windows and door locks and heated mirrors. With option packages you can add in satellite radio, a sunroof, heated seats, and leather and wood trim.
Legroom for the Passat has been extended and with use of the rear seats there is 61 cubic feet of cargo space. Customers shopping for West Palm Volkswagen used cars will also be interested in the large chassis, which provides a comfortable ride. It is also available with all-wheel drive. So as far as comfort, smooth handling, and overall style are concerned, the Passat is a great buy for anyone looking to buy a VW pre-owned vehicle.
