The only VW I really hate is the beetle, all the others are just meh. Don't really like them or hate them.

haha, thats funny. My sister bought a VW, and I didnt wanna bash it in front of her face, but I was thinking to myself..nooooooo. I did ask her why she didnt get a Honda.

There's a lime green beetle at work with flower petal wheels and the eyelashes on the headlights... even has matching flower in the dash console haha.

I dont hate them either, its just not my cup of tea..

that deserves such a huge :facepalm:

Steve's next car

They're not bad, but I do think the GTI is overpriced.

Yeah it was either the V or the GTI. I paid literally 8 grand less than I would have for a GTI. Plus the navigation in the GTI is terrible. The GTI's insurance was also 30 bucks more a month. But I have nothing but respect for that car, but I wasnt looking to spend 32 grand for a car.

The Golf R that was at the vw dealership in sterling wanted 40 grand when they had theirs. And somebody bought it!

Yeah I had the 2001 GTI VR6. Great car when it ran but they had quality control issues. Had to get my window regulator replaced twice within 6 months and the check engine light was forever on.

The real gripe I have is the VW dealer network here in the states. They are straight up CROOKS. My airbag light went on so I took it in. Since it is a safety problem it is covered free of charge regardless of mileage/warranty but these guys tried to say I had to pay 800.00 to ship it out to Germany etc. I kindly said FFFFUUUUU and reported them to VW Corporate. Service manager was later fired lol.

$40k for a fvcking Golf???!?!!!?!! What a retard. You could have an FI'd Z (used) for that much or even an FRS/BRZ (new) and end up with a 20x better car.

I would never spend that much money on a VW car even if I was loaded with cash.. no way. Absolutely not.

Some people arent looking for flat out performance. Some people want the entire package. The frs/brz are both relatively fine performance cars, but they lack the "class" that the Golf R has. The Golf's interior is also top notch and very quiet. VW has hands down the BEST interiors and the Golf shows it. Now would it be worth 40 grand? fvck no, but low 30's? absolutely.

Golf r is pretty cool if you like v dubs.

I thought about getting one at like 34k

I just wonder whoever designs their cars, have that team wake up, and make a more aggressive/ sportier looking car. Its 2013, not 1988.

different strokes for different folks. My wife hates them as well, while I find them quite nice.

Yup thats what it is, different strokes for different folks, im pretty sure, me myself and I, will never buy a VW, despite its nice interior.:rolleyes:

I mean you can get a new 3 series for that much. I haven't really been in a Golf, but I don't think I'd pay anywhere near $40k for one.

Yeah, seriously, if you paid $40k for a VW golf, you seriously got played for a fool.:roflpuke2:

Not really,Maybe a fully loaded 328 which is boring IMO. Ive SAT in a Golf R, its the same interior really as a GTI Autobahn. Its a hell of an automobile. Id pay 32 for a golf R easily.

Chris, you just have all kinds of cash laying around... haha.. are we still on track for the CTS-V this fall?

HA i wish.

no

actually, If I wanted my wife to leave me, then yes id buy it.

I'd have to drive one to see what's so special about it, but I doubt I ever will.

damn it, i shoulda took that bet you had offered a while back.

you and me both brother.. man, i cant believe me and blades actually agree on something. woww

Thats cause theyre super rare. But if you sat in a GTI Autobahn edition itd be the same thing.

It was like when I was smoking something thinking I could get an audi rs5. I couldnt find any. I had to drive to tysons corner to just see it.

70 grand, 15 grand mark up.

No thank you.

LMFAO!

I know right, you declined the wager.

But how about lets do something more liveable.

How about, you show up to a FFX meet, ill buy you lunch.
I show up to a MD meet, you buy me lunch.

No because I don't care enough to even try :icon17:

Insert a HUGE :icon17: here _______:tup::tup: I think we may be able to do that, atleast once.

Blades you're pretty adament about this... hahaha, just as l am when it comes to American and German cars.:p

I mean if a friend were to get one, I'd ask if I could test drive it, but I'm not going to a dealership to do it. Not after that horrible experience with the 5.0 test drive :shakes head:

please explain.............

I test drove a 5.0 back about 6 months ago or so, they just let me have it for like half the day. I dogged the hell out of it. But in the end didnt care for it.

what happened with that test drive, tell us about it.

I thought I did tell you guys about it. Went to test drive a 5.0 Columbia. Pulled out of the driveway, went like an 1/8 mile down the road, made a U-turn, and right back into the dealership. I think I scared the salesman when leaving the driveway, he said it was too much car for me......and he knew what car I came in with :facepalm:

omfg Shahid...

do you remember the salesman and the name of the dealership?

So he MADE you turn around????

Yeah he made me turn around. Don't remember the salesman's name, but it was some old black guy. It was Apple Ford in Columbia.

wowwwwwww. :facepalm:

damn dude, that sucks man.

That musta been awkward...:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

That's when you say "then I have too much money for you, and I know how much you make..."

Should have pulled out the vid of me tracking the Gallardo. I wish I had thought of that before I left :icon17:

Dude, what an idiot that guy lost your business, dummy.
