Non-Smokers car it's whole life!!!! They had the car since new, it was shipped over from Germany where it was built to their order, and sold in Canada. Car has been in Nova Scotia and Ontario (mainly), it's whole life. We used this car everyday for 1.5 years until this past fall. Tons of safety features, great crash rating, and built better than it's North America equivalents (the Big 3). Engine is turbocharged, and has lots of pep. Second set of rims (steel) with proper size winter tires (Michelin X-ice) and OEM VW Hubcaps. Should get 2-3 seasons out of the winters, see driving habits below. Nose cone bra included in sale. Rear seats are a near flat fold down style and have a 60/40 split. You can fit bicycles inside, car carrier on the roof (longitudinal bars are there from the factory), and there are even tie down loops at the four corners of the trunk compartment. Full size spare that matches the tire brand/variety installed currently. All Season tires (Michelin MXV4 195/60-R15) should have 1-2 seasons of driving short commute. I do not wear out tires much the way the car is driven, your usage may shorten the remaining life. Trunk does come with a privacy pull across/removable sun shade. Hides valuables, provides a fun spot to insert Comic character stuffed animals like Sid the Sloth. Great handling, original OEM Volkswagen suspension parts are on the vehicle. New axle boot installed last year, OEM axle retained! Timing belt was changed per OEM service intervals, as were all other maintenance related items. AC never worked when I owned the car, suspect a leak in the evaporator core per Volkswagen diagnosis before car was purchased. Car driven with no AC while we owned it. Heat is great, and all settings work. Turn signal switch or Hazard switch may be faulty, recall was done for the Hazard switch and new turn signal switch was installed previously to cure random ticking from the Hazard switch. No problem for turn signal function, just a ticking sound. Very common problem from what I researched before purchase. I decided to live with it. Dealer said ballpark $120 in parts for a signal switch. Shifter isn't as smooth into 2nd and 3rd, never had it looked at. Interior is very clean, usual wear on interior door handles (grey comes off and black base material can be seen), seats and carpet in great shape. Steam cleaned entire interior this fall, car has not been driven this winter except to clean off the brake rotors and keep the battery charged up. Small spots of surface rust here and there, much less than many cars this age, and one spot under a side moulding trim. Front glass is in great shape, and has been Aquapel treated or something similar as water beads right off while you are driving in the rain. 1 washer nozzle for the front windshield is loose, may need a replacement to clip back in place, operates fine the way it is now. Oil always changed with Synthetic to meet Volkswagen oil specs. These motors run fine with proper oil maintenance. Little things that are wrong with the car, I have two more cars that need attention including a car that I just rebuilt to drive this upcoming summer; Volks must go! I have 3 cars now, and the Passat is sitting in a parking spot that I now pay to rent. This is the nicest handling car I have ever owned, it drives very well. Fuel economy very good, much better than a V6 model. Got mid to high, 30+ MPG on the highway. Vehicle is AS IS, WHERE IS, be aware of this. Safety inspection, Emissions if you are required to have this for your area, are not part of this sale. Vehicle should not need much to pass Ontario Safety (if anything), no CEL/Check engine lights and passed E-test with near perfect score (closest to zero values you could get). Car drives very well, no abnormal noises/sounds that I can detect. Will be there to help shipping company/hauler, if you are having the car shipped to your location (shipped at buyers expense!) MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. TOO DARK WHEN POSTING AD TO GET PROPER PICTURES. PICS IN ADVERTISEMENT ARE FROM SUMMER 2013. RESERVE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY IF VEHICLE SELLS LOCALLY.

VW App-Connect gets celeb-studded campaign
Sat, Sep 19 2015Volkswagen is hoping that some celebrity faces help get the word out about App-Connect in the German brand's latest models with the MIB II infotainment system. The humorous, new commercial titled Party (above) stars Adam Scott, Michael Pena, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and the three of them are using voice commands and the touchscreen to show off the tech while planning a party. Another 30-second commercial titled Sorry with the three guys is coming along soon, as well, to advertise it even more. App-Connect is part of VW's adoption of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink. By supporting all three standards, pretty much every smartphone user can plug into the vehicle's infotainment system. The tech is already available on the 2016 Tiguan and Golf R but is rolling out to all of the German brand's vehicles this model year, except for the Touareg and Eos. VOLKSWAGEN DEMONSTRATES ADVANCED CONNECTIVITY IN NEW CELEBRITY-DRIVEN MARKETING CAMPAIGN Sep 17, 2015 First brand to offer all three major smartphone integration platforms; available on virtually every model and nearly every trim Highlights App-Connect, a new technology which makes compatible smartphone integration seamless through Apple CarPlay®, Google Android Auto™, and MirrorLink® Multimedia Campaign stars Hollywood celebrities Michael Pena, Adam Scott and Christopher Mintz-Plasse Herndon, Va. – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced the release of a new advertising campaign that highlights the brand's all-new infotainment system, MIB II, and its advanced smartphone integration technology, App-Connect. As part of Volkswagen's available Car-Net® suite of connectivity offerings, App-Connect allows for seamless integration of compatible smartphones across Apple CarPlay®, Google Android Auto™ and MirrorLink®; making it the first automaker to do so. The campaign kicks off with two 30-second television commercials, titled "Party" and "Sorry" starring Adam Scott, Michael Pena and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. In each spot, the celebrities navigate App-Connect by utilizing voice commands, the vehicle's touchscreen, and steering wheel controls.
New European charging network will offer speeds up to 350 kW
Tue, Nov 29 2016It's about to get easier to fast-charge your electric vehicle across Europe thanks to four major automakers working together in a new joint venture. BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, and the VW Group (Audi and Porsche) have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install about 400 DC fast charging sites in Europe. As you may know, there are different types of fast chargers, but the ones that this group is talking about installing will be able to charge an EV in much less time than other stations. That's because these chargers will offer power levels of "up to 350 kW." Compare that to what's generally considered the current gold standard, the Tesla Superchargers, which have rates of up to 145 kW and a statement not that long ago from a Ford exec that suggested that 150 kW chargers would be the new normal. Of course, the Tesla chargers use the company's proprietary connector and the new network the JV is setting up will use the CCS standard. The first new stations will go up in 2017 and those 400 sites are just the beginning. A joint statement by the JV says that EV drivers will "have access to thousands of high-powered charging points" by 2020 along highways and main roads. "The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations," the companies said. While not every electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the 350 kW charging rate, the companies involved would be silly to build the infrastructure without vehicles that can handle that kind of energy flow. The JV says it would welcome participation from other automakers and will cooperate with interested regional partners.

Aurora's Chris Urmson on autonomy — that's one way to avoid speeding tickets
Wed, Jan 17 2018Although this year's CES was full of companies announcing and exhibiting their real and conceivable self-driving car technologies, while actual self-driving cars from Aptiv-Lyft were giving conventioneers 400 rides around town, the biggest news came when Volkswagen Group — and recognize this is the entire group, not just the brand — and Hyundai announced that they'd both partnered with Aurora Innovation. While the VW announcement was vague — "The collaboration brings the two companies together to realize self-driving electric vehicles in cities as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) fleets" — Hyundai provided a concrete goal: "a strategic partnership to bring self-driving Hyundai vehicles to market by 2021." You may not have heard of Aurora, which has been described in some news accounts as "mysterious." But Aurora Innovation has been in business since December 2016, and it is to autonomous technology what the 1927 Yankees are to baseball. The three leaders of the company are Chris Urmson, co-founder and CEO, who had previously been chief technology officer for Alphabet Self-Driving Cars; Sterling Anderson, co-founder and chief product officer, who had directed the development of Tesla Autopilot; and Drew Bagnell, co-founder and chief technical officer, who had been autonomy architect and perception lead at the Uber Advanced Technology Center. We had the chance to sit down with Chris Urmson after he appeared onstage at a Hyundai press conference. He shared his insights on Aurora's approach to automated driving. Initial deployment of self-driving cars? "We think the first place this technology comes to market in in the transportation services or ride-hailing applications, but that's for our partners to decide." (Ride-sharing is a strategy a lot of players in the field are shooting for, as round-the-clock use is one way for paying for what will initially be a technology too costly for private ownership.) Transporting goods or people? "I personally — and as a company — am more excited initially about moving people around. Urban mobility. That's where you see the largest social impact. And it provides better access to mobility for people." Can you create a car that doesn't crash? "It is a fundamentally hard problem because other operators on the road can behave erratically at any moment. For example, if you are in a two-lane, opposing-traffic road, if you want to be safe, you don't drive there, ever.
