PTSD

PTSD

After having survived two years of VW ownership, we are slowly recovering.

With another winter season upon us, it got me to thinking about the troubles we had as It was at this time of year that our Jetta really showed its faults.

This is our first year without or cursed Jetta Wagon. This morning I went out and was able to open the doors of our Freestyle without concern that they would be frozen shut as they had done on an almost daily basis with the Jetta (They do that don’t ya know!).

Better still, I was able to drive up the driveway with some three inches of snow in the driveway without any trouble at all on regular all season tires, something that the Jetta was incapable of doing even with snow tires (inferior ones as related to us by VWoA despite the fact that the dealership sold the same tires!) and traction control.

Can’t say that I miss the Jetta except maybe for the heated seats, but then again, Fords seem to warm up quickly and its not much of a trade all things considered.

Happy Holidays to those of you who continue to fight the good fight against VW.
