Andrew Krok's 2016 VW Golf Sportwagen keeps on chuggin'

With over 60,000 hard-earned miles on the clock, there's no signs of slowing down yet.

Andrew Krok
Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

It's a little rough around the edges, but that's to be expected.

Over the last five years, ol' Dan here has picked up more than 60,000 miles.

That might not seem like all that much until you consider the fact that 90% of those miles were added in the first two and a half years.

Now that all of its drivers work from home, the wagon does a lot more sitting.

The trunk could stand to be cleaned, but it's huge.

The interior -- surprise, surprise -- could also benefit from a touching up.

There's not a ton of space to store your stuff in here.

Nevertheless, the leather seats are comfortable and the cabin itself is pretty spacious for a compact car.
