Did you get the sportwagon? I love the Euro wagons. They’re SUVs (from a functional standpoint) that handle well. I hate it that Americans don’t “get” that, and thus we don’t get many of them over here (no S4 Avant, for example).

Does that engine have urea injection? I should know that, but haven’t paid close enough attention.

Yes, I got the sportwagen model, with the sport and tiptronic manual transmission.

2.0L 140hp with the rail direct injection.

It does not have the urea injection.

So far I love it, even if I do look like a soccer mom, and not a ranch hand.

Just have one of those ranch hands in their Dodge Ram or equivalent try to follow you down a twisty road or a freeway clover. Heck, the soccer moms are driving truck-based SUVs.

My 7.3L has been a great truck. The new ones have been a disappointment it seems.
