I’d much rather get my hands on a model 3, but the likelihood of actually getting in one before the middle/end of 2018 is slim to none if you didn’t reserve yours long ago.

I think the golf makes a lot of sense, i’d just like to see a bit more range. Throw a trailer hitch on it and you’ve got a stellar vehicle.

I don’t know. We test drove one a week or two ago and it was a pretty impressive ride. It’s a bit soft, as you would expect, but other than being slightly more cushy of a ride, it was no different than my mk6 TDI. It went, it turned, it had the fit and finish, and there was (and this is important) no loss in interior…

VW, Ford, and Kia now have fully electric cars on the market for under 30k before incentives. All of which have at least 75 miles of range or more.

I have to disagree. There are plenty of places that have the current infrastructure to house the atheletes and spectators, and hosting the games would be a boom to the local economy.

Does anybody want an in car navigation unit that will be outdated in a matter of months? We all have smart phones that do that shit for us.

I’m pretty excited about getting more money from VW.

My only real hope is that I can get the hush money, keep the car, and not get it fixed while still being able to register it year after year.

If not, I just might let them buy it back if they’re paying the estimated cost prior to the scandal. That’s a solid 12k or…

Shot in the dark, but 55F on summer tires isn’t optimal.

but so useful

11 second pit stop, not bad in NASCAR.

Isn’t that how much it cost back in the 90's brand new?

CRACKALACKAPIPE DAMN

You know that feeling you get in your arms when you’ve used a weed whacker or chainsaw for like, 30 minutes? I wonder if they get that feeling in their entire body after a stage like that.

I’m tired just watching it.

As a Golf TDI owner, the thought of going into a prius makes me sad. I bought the car firstly for the mileage, but second and third were that it was an actually engaging car to drive, and it had a pretty nice interior/ride. It’s the perfect road trip car, that can also take the backroads and carve like a beast.

A…

not every state has inspections. In fact, most states do not.

I think there’s a g35 back there.

Here I am wishing my TDI had a 20 gallon tank so i’d only have to fill up once every 2 weeks. 40 gallon tank, that’s crazy heavy.

That’s the life of non economical car folks. I too drive a 40+mpg diesel car, and I just got an old honda insight that has a 10 gallon tank, but still goes about the same distance as the 14.5g tank in the TDI thanks to the 50+mpg. So right now, no car in my fleet goes less than 500 miles on a tank. It’s nice.

In that case, go to VW today!

I wouldn’t say it’s too soft, it’s just designed more towards being comfortable, so you’ll experience more body roll and will need to be more aware of your driving style to not upset the suspension.

So long as you drive smoothly, it’l be a blast.

2000-2006 5 speed Honda Insight.
Arguably the most fuel efficient car you can drive, with a scrawny 3cyl that puts out a fair amount of power all things considered, and a hybrid drive that’s essentially the input shaft.

Full battery assist honestly feels like a turbo reaching boost. Granted, it’s not a fast car, but…

It’s definitely built for comfort over enthusiastic driving. They’ve got a really great road feel to them, but they’re considerably less sprung than the golf. The golf would be the ideal VW for compromised efficiency plus enjoyment.

Disclosure, I have put 115k miles on my golf TDI, and I love it. 40mpg all day long,…
