While this is 100% true, lifted trucks are a serious problem for normal passenger cars when the two are involved in a collision. A car-vs-car crash allows the crumple zones to do exactly what you said. Deformation is usually a good thing, as long as the deformation isn't in the safety cell.

These handle much more competently than you'd expect them to. I drove a V8 a few weeks ago and I was impressed.

Aircooled VW people are wicked nice. The Vanagon community is the same way.

nice snowflakes

That's my dream car. Did they make a 4 door? I'd have it in oak green.

I've had the pleasure of driving (hooning) a W8 sedan with the 6 speed. It's like what the E39 540 is to BMW... waaay more competent than you'd expect. For the record it does actual four-wheel powerslides when equipped with tires made by a brand I can't pronounce

Jealous of the NH RMV's sense of humor when it comes to vanity plates. Mass RMV doesn't let us have any fun with vanity plates

took me a minute to get this. then I lol'd

get fucked. Why is there no report button?

That's freaking nuts! My family has an 08 and 06 jettas which use the same engine... *grabs VIN numbers and checks for recalls*

Excellent point! I forgot how large the price difference was. Our Passat was $23,000 (GLS, as loaded as you could get with the 1.8T and a stick) in 1999. Our 2001 V70 was ~$43,000 (equipped almost identically to a Passat GLX).

This one really makes a lot of sense to me. Does exactly what it says on the label.

Easily my favorite midsize sedan (B5/B5.5/B6). The wagon I'd have a hard time choosing between the passat wagon or the 01-09 V70. My family has owned both (99 Passat 1.8T sedan, 01 V70 2.4T, 2008 V70 3.2). Both were fantastic honest cars, and extremely competent

I taught my ex to drive stick on one of these. It had basically no synchro left on 1-4 and she champed it. I personally found it very easy to drive. Great to learn double clutch technique on.

damn, that paint and chrome looks amazing.

hahaha fuck those cupholders. My 05 has cupholders by the handbrake, but those aren't much better.

pretty sure I got stuck behind this thing a few weeks ago driving back from UMass's graduation.

I'm glad you brought this up. My mk4 golf 2.o will literally do everything a CVPI does, only much more efficiently. 133mph, 0-60in 8.5sec, 25mpg. Fold the rear seats down and you can move anything. It works in the winter. It also handles quite well. The stock brakes are excellent, and it's quite comfortable.

mk4 golf/jetta? what happened? (mk4 Golf owner here)
