I won' even tell you about the refridgerated glove compartment then.

My 01 Passat has that, still haven't found a use for it...

Thanks. :uzi:

really, very nice...wonder how many other new cars have these features...

other question: Does your home state require clean diesels? MA does, so many diesels are not available unless you want to wait until they are available in the used car market.

Which works because the Yakima rack has...

I don't think I could fit more than one of those in my glove box, but I suppose it would work okay as long as I was looking to drink it immediately upon reaching my destination...

Do the seats fold down completely flat?

I am surprised more autos are not made with 100% fold down seats a la the Vibe and the Fit. That is pretty much a must for our next purchase which will either be a hatch or a wagon. Need a completely flat back for a dog kennel and space enough for gear to travel with such as camping. It is amazing how much space seats that don't fold flat use up.

Looks like the new design is much improved visually. The last version of the wagen looked pretty boxy.

rear seats do fold down flat, but you have to flip the bottom up first. I would have preferred if I didn't have to even if it was a couple of degrees off.

You can't do both? My old VWs (and a Volvo) you could flip the seats up and get a nice flat surface or just push them over with a bit of an angle. It's only one more step anyway. I was kind of annoyed when the subi wouldn't so that.

I can, just not flat enough for my taste.

I could flip the rear seat on my '98 Outback and lay the seat backs flat...most times I only flipped the seat up to clear out all of the junk that the kiddos left behind.

Very nice interface on that radio. I've been without satellite radio for about 6 weeks and am starting to go through withdrawals. Gonna take care of that soon.

I actually prefer to use my iPod.

I've been using my MP3 player heavily as well. Sirius is just so nice and easy, though. I'm a Stern fan and I discover new music through satellite.

Had the trial subscription for Sirius and I just let it expire...satellite radio just doesn't do it for me. I'm also quite content to just use my iPod.

A Pandora interface, however, would be nice to have...

I prefer to submit myself to the whims of local radio ... ;-)

That's what I do or I play the music I stored on the radios hard drive. I got a free subscription to Sirius when I purchased my Jeep and I think I listened to it twice.

I've been hooked on Slacker and Pandora lately. We can usually use that from our house in CT, right up to the VT line.

What device are you using to stream it?

 

[Philpug]

I am happy with both the iPod and Sirius interfaces of the radio.

What device are you using to stream it?

BlackBerry Bold 9700. What a difference from my old BB Curve 8310. 3G is really a step up from Edge. The wifi is a nice touch too. At home, we'll stream music at times as well. With the wifi, there's never a signal issue.
