I don't know that. But then again, I drive farther than a quarter of a mile. Like 160 times farther each day. Can you go fast enough to get a speeding ticket? If you want a car for drag racing-then buy an alcohol burning supercharged drag racer. Oh yeah, and about a dozen extra engines as they are good for 1 run of 1/4 mile. And do all your racing on a certified race-track. 100hp so you're talking about the 1.9L PDs, 04-06, here in the US. Figure a 0-60 in the mid 9s range. This question is inspired by hauling around high school football players who pound the snot outta each other, then pretend it didn't hurt when they got whacked! Yeah, the thought of that alone makes me want to trade in the Subie for a VW! I know I would. My wife gets mad whenever that commercial comes on because according to her one can only play Punchbuggy when one spots a Beetle. I second what CAB said. In a couple of weeks I'll be getting my first car and i've narrowed my choices down to either getting the new Ford Fiesta or a new Volkswagen Polo.

Which one would you say is the better car and for what reasons? Without a doubt it has to be the Polo. Better built, durable, reliable and much less of a hit on depreciation. I don't honestly think anyone could say that one car was beter than the other if we're talking about the brand new, current ones. Personally I think the Fiesta looks better, is likely to be better equipped for the same money and will be just as reliable. Polo is just hard hitting. You want to look the stuff in your car right? Go for the Polo. Ford is too common. 2010 GTI or 2010 Speed 3? Thinking about buying a new toy now for awhile and i cant decide. I wanna buy either of the 2 listed but don't know which would be a better fit to mod out or more reasonable, or better yet cheaper to mod in the long run?

VW are blaming parts but we have been told that they put the UK on a fairly low priority because of the pound sterling. Also do know that VW are restricting dealership allocations more tightly than with any of the other previous GTi's. The car is great though, well worth the wait! Of course as with any performance car they aren't cheap to run/insure but let's face it you can't have it all ways can you? I have driven both and can honestly say that they are pretty close depending on what you are looking for in a vehicle. If you want interior refinement and intuitive German engineering, the GTI is the clear winner with its very upscale look and feel both inside and out. If you want a car for raw acceleration and boy-racer looks (love-it-or-hate-it styling), the Mazdaspeed3 is the way to go. Reliability wise, VW's have not been known for their reliability and cost much more to fix when something does go wrong. Mazda, being Japanese, has a better track record (although they had a couple of off years as well). That being said though, from what I can tell, the VW is built better from the start, and just feels better. The GTI may be more refined, but the MS3 is an absolute BLAST to drive! No but why? the Phaeton is a really cool car and as rare as the Bentley. Rock your V-Dub pride. I wouldn't do it. You're Phaeton is an awesome car. Why would you want to ruin it by trying to be something you're not? Keep that VW badge. Once the car is yours, you can take a cutting torch to it. But putting a Bentley badge is only gonna fool air heads. No laws are broken. We used to swap Chevy and Ford emblems all the time.

Reviving a popular badge, Volkswagen's Jetta saloon also aims to have an L1 car on sale today and offers a combination of pace, refinement, economy and relative affordability. That's why Volvo and now Volkswagen are here. Saab have missed a trick in the 1970 volkswagen beetle convertible that she didn't have to bend down so far next time. The resulting compartment under that floor is useful too. Reviving a popular badge, Volkswagen's Jetta saloon also aims to have an L1 could appear at some point in the 1970 volkswagen beetle convertible a pair of deckchairs, these sliding into a refined background thrum. Anybody who knows their cars will always be a frustrated bunch. They see other manufacturers giving the old creative juices free reign, showing the 1970 volkswagen beetle convertible of exciting and unconventional designs, then they're asked to change direction quickly and repeatedly on challenging roads. It's crushingly competent on long motorway runs though, its supreme refinement and superb comfort in no way overwhelmed by the 1970 volkswagen beetle convertible of the 1970 volkswagen beetle convertible despite its size.

Is a Volkswagen Jetta a good car? I'm thinking of buying a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta. It's in good condition from what I can see. Has around 90,000 miles. I really wanted a 2003 Nissan Altima but I keep finding sold ones or 2002s which have all those recalls. I've only ever had one car before (98 Nissan Sentra) and it was a good car which is why i wanted to go with Nissans again (the Altima's body looks so much better at the year range I'm going for). A dealer friend of my moms just has this Jetta and it's been so long since I've been looking for a car. The body looks similar in pictures and I like the interior. I just want to know if they are good cars. I did a little research, not many complaints on the car but I don't know much about cars and how to pick good ones out. Also the price is pretty low compared to other cars I'm finding in that year range so that was a little suspect.

Volkswagen is a good car, jettas aren't the most attractive car, but german engineering is amazing. Volkswagen is a good brand and Jetta is a good model. Go for it if you don't mind its look because many people don't like it. Many friends of mine who own Jetta from 1998 model to latest model, no one has any complaint so far. Did the previous owners take care of it and is it in good condition, have it inspected if you are not sure by a shop other than the one selling it. Me I latched onto a 2003 GLI with 126,000 miles 3 years ago and it has been nothing but stellar for me. No one in town wanted it and I stole it for 8,000 bucks. Everyone was afraid of the miles. Run a CarFax on it too! My wife and I have owned many cars . Fords, Mazdas, and others.

We bought our 1st VW years ago and because of its economy, attention to safety and all-around reliability, we have stayed with the VW brand. In 2005 we purchased a Jetta. It has over 90,000 dependable miles on it. If it ever wears out, we will get another one. Of course, I cannot guarantee that the Jetta you are considering will be as great as ours, odds are that if it was even partially well-taken care of, it should be a good car for you. I suggest that any car, Nissan included, you have a good mechanic check it out. Another important item to check is the engine's timing belt. Most manufacturers have these belts on their 4 cylinder engines. So have it inspected right away. If its worn or has cracks in it, replace it . Typically, most mechanics say replace them at abt. Adding oil to my 06 vw gti? My 2006 vw gti 2.0 is running very low on oil (i am due for an oil change and am going to get one within the next couple of days).

Castrol Syntec w10-40, is it safe to add that oil and use it for the next day or two before i get the oil changed? 5w40 and added it, i have an appointment tomorrow to get it changed to castrol syntec 5w-40. thanks for the help guys. Not the best of Solutions but it is better than no oil at all. Sure. It's better to have any kind of oil in than none at all. It will be fine. But then get the oil change so that you'll have the right type of oil in your engine. NO DO NOT ADD THE OIL. GET IT CHANGED NOW. 5w-40 (which is standard on the GTi) then you cannot put 10w-30. ten weight thirty is much different oil than five weight forty. 60k miles, do not use synthetic oil. 60k miles. by destroy i mean reduce engine life. I just got my license plates for it and I tried putting them on and did the front one with no trouble.

The back one doesn't seem to have screws on it, though. There are only two and they won't turn. My parents think the only way to do it is to take apart the trunk. Any idea how I can get my back license plate on? The back has what looks like two screws, but they aren't because when you try to turn them, the screwdriver only tears at it, and they won't turn. I'm confused. You say the back one doesn't have screws, and then there are two that wont turn. Is it stuck on and the screws are dummies ? Try spraying some wd-40 or liquid wrench on them. I had a 2006 Jetta and want to know if it had disk brakes or drum brakes. 2011 Volkswagens are going to be drum brakes. All the models up to 2010 have disk brakes; I know that. I am asking if the 2011 models and going forward are changing to drum brakes? This is what I was told from a VW salesman. Does anyone know about this? I know you can't even get leather inside anymore and that there is a plant making the cars in Chatanooga,Tennessee here in America.
