2017 Alltrack ownership summary after 4.5 months

excruciatingly underwhelming. It had 60k miles and they wanted $6500. Decent car, well kept, handsome gauge cluster and dials. But man, that 2.5 five-cylinder engine was lethargic. It sounded bad, and there was nobody home when I called up the final half of the throttle. Nobody. Home. Coming from a ...
