Another dilemma...

[SaltyDog]

Definately GTI. And they don't make Jetta wagons anymore, so I don't see anything else good from VW.

A real shame, too. It's a great looking car.

[Vinsanity]

Raza: have you decided what you prefer between the GTI and the Civic Si yet?

[SaltyDog]

A real shame, too. It's a great looking car.

Agreed, but as far as German wagons go the A3 looks better.



Are you listening Raza?

The deal extends to only his dealer, not VWoA. I suggested the A3.

Yeah, but if he decides to ditch VW...

[Raza]

Vin:  I can't say that I have.  Tough choice.

Well, that Autobahn package does sound pretty nifty enough to go for, if the lease/incentive deal still works out to your advantage

[TurboDan]

The Autobahn package sounds pretty good.  If I were to do it over again, I wouldn't have minded getting a new GTI last year instead of the B5 Passat.  Don't get me wrong, I love the Passat, but I've seen quite a few GTIs and I like them a lot.  I can't live without heated seats, leather, sunroof, etc., though.  Diesel-powered A3 or GTI would be awesome.

How's MPG on the Boxster?  It can't be that bad, the H6 engine isn't that much of a beast.

[TurboDan]

BTW, I wouldn't mind picking up a used Audi TT one of these days.  Saw a nice one for a great price the other day.  My next car will most likely be a 2-seater.  TT or Z4 FTW.

Boxster/Cayman, man! 987 FTW

Here you go, Raza. Go get it. It's just north of you in Bethlehem.

The Boxster's not too bad on gas.  EPA is 18/26 (new), but real world is more like 14, and the two times I took it on the highway for any distance, I managed about 23. 

[JYODER240]

I want that 944!

[sportyaccordy]

As a car forum member I have to recommend the most esoteric, impractical, but fun to drive choice...

A turbocharged S2000CR (untuned)

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Personally if you had to/wanted to turn in the VW and get another i would go for a GTI with a DSG speced to however i could afford it(base with DSG as the only option). Personally everything else is just shoveling dirt into a different hole compared with the car you have now. If possible i'd certainly browse the certified lot for a R32 or better yet a lightly used Audi S car if they have any.

Otherwise hold out for 9 months and expand your options, i personally think there are much better things out there for the money(a speed3 GT stickers for 27K, in 9 months you could probobly get 3-4K off that if they are sitting on the lots).

[SJ_GTI]

What dealler are you going to? VW of Langhorne?

If you want, I'll give you a good deal on my GTI (leather, sunroof, heated seats, Nav, iPod integration, 18" wheels). Its time for me to move back to BMW I think.

Really?

Why would you dump the GTI so soon?

Are you having problems with it?

I guess with your money i would be looking at bigger and better things too(your going to get a 335 aren't you).

My money?  Says the guy who bought an MS6, and then traded it in 2 months later for an Evo.   

I'm not really selling it, just messing around with Raza. I think we all know he isn't really going to get a car with a stick shift. 

[SJ_GTI]

Well, I am bored with it (I get bored after about 2 weeks with any car), but I won't sell it just because I'm bored. 

[Vinsanity]

That would be my moment of vindication

You're the one that has mentioned several times that you could afford to spend much more on a car. So yes your money(feel free to send me some ).

Anyway don't pick on raza, he has a hard enough time trying to decide what his future car will be.

[SJ_GTI]

Well in my defense, GTI's aren't all that expensive.  That was probably my point. I certainly couldn't go out and buy a new car every year if I wanted. I'm not Leblowski after all.

Yeah, its a been a tough 3 years.

Go ahead, drag lebowski into this to attract attention away from yourself. We all know you could go out and get a 70K car without stretching the budget.

It has been tough for raza, thankfully he made it through the first 3 years. The next 3 should be a piece of cake.

[MrH]

Actually, SJ_GTI's car would be perfect.  Loaded, with awesome aftermarket suspension pieces already in, and a nice sub in the back.  It's in black, is a 6-speed, and you know it's in good shape.

[Raza]

Don't bet on it.  I've already got one car with a stick, and I wouldn't replace the Passat with a car without one.

But, I don't really care about the sub too much, and his car has satnav.  I'd rather get a car without navigation.

...why?

[J86]

...why?

I'm actually torn on the nav thing.  I wasn't really for 'em, but Mom's new wheels has one.  I like navigating by map, because I have stumbled upon so many cool places I otherwise wouldn't have experienced, but I've found when driving her car somewhere new, I still don't use the GPS.  However, if you HAVE to be somewhere, it's a great crutch to lean on.  It was great over break, for example, when I had to find a house in Providence at night and didn't know that particular corner of the city too well.

I don't think I'd get one in a new car if it meant fucking up the radio controls, but so long as it is an essentially stand alone unit, why not?
