Well, I did end up ordering one I hope its worth the wait. I'll post up when I get an estimated date of delivery.

They certainly are willing to sell it for full price. I'm hoping Ford has it on the october rebates when they release the list.

We are interested in a titanium wagon anyway so I'm sure that the barn doors aren't even an option.

Why would you say the barn doors over lift gate?

So my family has been hunting a replacement for our Jetta Sportwagen since we're going to sell it back to VW as part of the dieselgate scandal. We really liked the TC since it was not as large as a mini-van but still has the sliding doors and utility of a minivan. After weeks of researching and at least 4-5 days of negotiation with a dealer that had a 2016 on the lot, I was ready to put down a deposit. Unfortunately the latch recall issued earlier this month put a stop-sale on the 2016s and federal law prevents a dealer from selling new (used they can). That being said, whats your opinion? Wait for the recall to be over (4-6 months?) Order a 2017 (4-6 months? and $3-4K more expensive), or buy a mazda5 (poor safety ratings). Am I missing any other options here?
