We have a nice VW Passat wagon, great in all ways but one: the transmission has started to fail. It is a high-end, has-all-kinds-of-features car, with 97,000 miles on it. Holds a ton of cargo, has a factory roof rack, a Rack and Road hitch for a bike rack, new/recent tires, and gets good mileage– at least when the transmission worked!
