- It’s a winning formula used by Audi, Subaru and Volvo- Take a station wagon, lift it up, add all-wheel drive and camping clothes. Voila! A vehicle that appeals to the outdoorsy folks. Tom Voelk reviews the Alltrack at the Seattle press launch.

One of the best reviewers. Same consistent quality in each video.
Thanks Tom! You consistently pump out the best automotive reviews on TH-cam! Thank you for your service!
Thanks Peter!
Very solid solid review. Great job, Tom. Thanks.
I like it. And u are one of the best auto journalist out there
There were two wagons I will always love, the Volvo 740 and 960 wagons 😍😍😍
Great Review. I owned one of these in SEL trim for about 3 years. It was a great little car. I kept it stock for about a year, then put an APR tune on it. I was so impressed by the potential for the car after that, that I quickly put an IS20 turbo from the GTI on it and upgraded some other internals. For less than 2 grand, I had it making around 325 HP and a similar amount of torque. The big drawback to these cars in the long term was that they had a real tendency to leak around the sunroof beyond the inherent tendency or possibility for leaks in any car that has a pano sunroof.
Very handsome design, I think it sell well.
4:32 - continuity break, tsk, tsk ;-) Took me a couple of seconds to figure out that it was a right door not the left. But really liked the video, great quality as usual.
Old video, Great content. Subscribed!!!!!
I would expect you to have much more subscribers.
happy subscriber since 2011 :)
Well, then you're smarter than the average bear, aren't you? Thanks for being loyal.
wish we have the Passat alltrack
Decent review , nice looking car.
So nice. ....sure want one.
who needs a Tacoma to have occasional offroading capabilities when there's this! family hauler, 4wd, fuel efficient, and lots of space what more can you ask for? no wonder CUVs are so popular nowadays
You added the lighting package, correct?
I sure would like a little more aggressive tires but I can not find any even if I go to a 16 inch wheel.
Great Review Tom. When does the redesigned Tiguan debut in the US?
First quarter of 2017 as far as I can tell right now.
Do you remember what colour that was? Tungsten Silver?
Came close to getting one last month. It just want big enough. Other than that it's a good ride. The manual will make it better. I bought a '17 Passat R-Line in Urano gray. Couldn't be happier. Well, if I could have gotten a manual...
It wasnt big enough and you ended up with the cheaper less fun to drive R line passat? We test drove both, there is far more room in the All Track.
If only he knew how important the toilet paper hauling test would be in 2020...
Your going to hit 40k subs soon ;)
And then it's on to total world domination!
knowing you, youd probably take a miata all the way that world domination haha
I might need something with AWD. It is total world domination after all.
Bit more than 40k now! 🤠
Always wondered how those hidden backup cameras were cleaned? I mean do you have someone put the car in reverse so you can clean it from outside and hope for the best they don't take their foot off the brake? :)
I think you can just pull it out and wipe it. I'll check next time.
think I know this voice. Who is the narrator of the video?
2017 the year to Vw in eua . I believe
most likely yes, I have taken my 2 wheel drive saab 9-3, jetta and my town and country off road until I can't no more
it's a reason why I'm looking at the alltrack, I would look at the subaru but I hate there 1990 style
Have you done the CrossTrek? I thought I'd like to hear your perspective on it.
Here ya go- th-cam.com/video/-lY_7hjERPw/w-d-xo.html
Thx. Was shopping this against the HRV and CX-3. I thought this felt better overall (I know. it's subjective). Will need to try out this Alltrack.. :D
Carpediem06 We just bought a Crsosstrek. In Limited trim it is nicely equipped to compete against something with a little more luxery like the VW, and the Subbie is likely better equipped at that price. Drive one if you haven't.
Ed Hayes Oh ya - I've tried it; I shopped it against the HR-V and CX-3 (both it's closest competitors I'm told). I thought this VW would be one too, and was hoping it was, but learnt I need to cross it off my list as it's actually more expensive than the Outback on certain trim-levels (the nerve) lol :)
We shopped the same vehicles, plus the VW Tiguan. Subaru's Eyesight safety features pushed my wife towards the Subaru. It's pretty clever. We liked the VW, but they get too pricy compared to the Japanese autos. Good luck shopping.
they may be positioning it against the outback, but when we bought ours 2 years ago, we got it for less than $24k OTD... and where's evil twin when we need him!?!
I'll assume you didn't get a loaded Outback and probably didn't pay retail. I can only quote MSRP because, well, there are too many variable when it comes to pricing. Just another piece of homework shoppers need to do.
True story on all accounts... But with 2 kids and student loans I can wait for pleather! We always get 28-30 mpg with that thing though, it's amazing.
This model went through a mild update and is now being discontinued and can be had for a discount. Bought mine last week.
Seems like the normal Sportwagon S with AWD is a much better deal. ;)
didn't know there was a demand for an AWD wagon
Talk to Volvo and Subaru about that. The approach arguably saved both companies.
There should be. Wagons have about the same space as small / medium SUV’s, and drive worlds better. Also the Outback outsells just about everything individually
hey I'm in Seattle and I was just wondering were that trail was?
Over on Bainbridge Island near Union.
Driven Car Reviews sorry to be oddly specific but is there an address or a park name
And a leaking standart panoramic roof!
Great car tho!
Needs a diesel...
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! That is not going to happen. Electrification is where VW is headed.
They should head to the nearest incinerator and leave the car making business
@@DrivenCarReviews now, we drive the lovely 2.0 diesel :p
1:27 The standard sportwagen can be had with AWD. It is called the S with 4Motion.

Yes, as I pointed out. It is not raised though.
In the US?
Oh i thought you meant it didn't come in a AWD version.
Yep.
will you be doing the 2017 passat?
Nice car. But why waste so much floor space with a driveshaft tunnel in an essentially FWD car? Such a large car ought to conveniently seat 5.
meh
i thought BW were lierss!!!😂
VW should stop making cars they lack the proper ethics for that
Fussinated. You lack the proper intellect to post TH-cam responses. Since when do ethics prevent a carmaker from selling their products?
J High You lack the proper intellect to live a meaningful life. Since when unethical behavior became the preferred choice for the market that is supposed to provide quality products to the consumer?
Fussinated. Whaaatt???? Big corporations aren't always ethical???? All they care about are generating big profits????? Say it ain't so!!!!!!
J High IDIOT! Even if what you say is correct, does that make unethical conduct acceptable? Again if what you say is correct those corporations survive because of idiots such as yourself who like to defend them and legitimize their conduct.
Fussinated. Keep tilting those windmills.
Ew, just get the outback
