Volkswagen is hoping that people can find their love of the small station wagon with their launch of the Sportwagen.  This will be available to car shoppers later this year in July.

According to VW executives, the new wagon derived from the Jetta has the appeal of a compact car, and yet sports a European flair.  This should give it some traction in the market, as drivers want to change to smaller wagons.  Consumers are trying to save money by purchasing small, efficient vehicles.  This allows people to spend their money on an auto warranty, and car maintenance.

The new Jetta wagon has many attractive features.  It offers a 2.5-liter automatic or five-speed, as well as a turbo four that has 200 hp in a six-speed Tiptronic automatic or manual.  Towards the later part of the summer the diesel engine TDI will be here.  It has a six-speed automatic that is dual-clutch, without paddle shifters that are common in other vehicles with the transmission.  You can also get a panoramic sunroof, and a Sirius satellite radio.  Depending on the trim level you pick, the car will run you $19,000 to $26,000.

Consumers can expect to see the VW Sportwagen in July.  As with any auto purchase, new car warranties should be purchased to protect your investment.  This will ensure drivers’ peace of mind.
