I kinda want a City Golf.  I want a cheap-ass new car with some semblance of quality to it.  Why do you retards to the north get to have all the fun?

As for the Mk. IV car in general, I will paraphrase [insert witty British car mag here] and Raza:  The base Golf was a great car; they just happened to stick the GTI nomenclature on it, though.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.
You can take the troll out of the Subaru, but you can't take the Subaru out of the troll!

Isn't the only available engine in the City Golf the 2.slow?  Ewwwww.

Yes, but it starts at $16k in Canuckistan and does almost everything just as well as the 2.5 model that starts at $24k up there.  Plus, they get the 2.0 TSI (do we?), and that starts at $30k!

I don't see the point of the new car unless you're going to spend way too much to get the best versions.  I don't think the Jetta was enough of an upgrade over the last gen to justify such a massive amount more money spent on it versus the old design.

$16k CDN is something mighty cheap here in terms of car prices.
