2002 VW Golf GL

I’ve had my 2002 Golf for just over 3 years, I bought it off the original owners with 88,000KM and it now sits at a little over 118,000. I love it, it has been pretty reliable, its sporty enough to have fun but not enough to get in trouble. The mk4's get a lot of flack for being unreliable, but there are some gems out

It’s the whole island, they’re everywhere. Not complaining though.

CP, as you can get a Toyota Altezza with similar mileage, and in better condition for $6000-$7000 landed in Vancouver. Gotta love the 15 year rule

Well I think it’s stupid to rollback these standards, if Trump succeeds, automakers will still have to comply to European and Canadian standards.

Since he’s in Vancouver he should check out importing something from Japan. Our 15 year import laws should allow for some interesting JDM and euro goodies.

My aunt traded a similar year Vue in when she bought her 3-Series. Whenever cars get brought up, she mentions how great it was and how she wish she still had it. I used to own an S-series so I’m utterly confused from where she is coming from.

Was driving on the highway in my moms Honda Fit about a month after I got my liscence, in the mirror I see a early 80's 911 quickly approaching. It pulls alongside me, the driver looks at me, I look at him, we each nod and he blasts off, over the horizon and gone.

So far the oldest I’ve driven was my grandfathers 1991 Mazda b2200, hopefully someday he’ll let me take his 1929 Model A out for a spin

To 16 year old me,

A younger, more chunkier me was walking home from school during eighth grade, an older student and a friend drive by in their Honda Accord and yelled something about my size to me. I was irritated but continued home and didn’t think about it. The next day the Accord pulls into the parking lot with a completely smashed

Yesterday I was picking up some parts for my car at a storage yard and noticed two 505's in there. I’d never seen one of them in real life before, both looked rusted beyond repair but it was still a sight to behold.

I recently found a low mileage german car aswell, got myself a 90,000km (56000mi) 2002 Golf. Got it off the original owners, they were selling it because they got a golf wagon to haul their grandkids around. Kudos to the owner for cherishing such a low mileage E46, enjoy

I’m glad to see the Saturn SL made the cut. A 98 SL2 was my first car, it was a buzzy a to b shitbox, but I loved it. I remember shoving my hand between the door and dash to stop the very loud rattling and blasting my aftermarket horn at my friends until the fuse would blow. I hope you live on with your new owners for

Over my year and a half of ownership I had 4or5 people come up to me at gas stations telling me how great these cars are. Mine only had 148,000km (91,000mi) when I sold it.

A quart every three weeks sounds pretty familiar , I had the most difficult time taking off the oil cap, had to pry it off with a screwdriver.

yeah, it crapped out in front of my friends house, he still bothers me about it time to time. Being the foolish 17 year old I was, I took it to the dealer, $480 to fix. Ugh I still shudder when I think about that bill. Funny how you develop a bond with a car, I sold it 2 months ago and was on the verge of tears as I

For the rattly econobox that it is, these are good cars. Had one as my first car, lots of memories. Only thing it ever needed was oil and a starter.

I may get some grief for this but I nominate the Saturn S-Series. I bought one as my first car, it was great, it was very dependable and a good, efficient commuter. This 1999 wagon can haul you and your stuff, and with power windows, AC, and cruise control you can do it in comfort. It’s plastic body panels prevent

I went to the smallest highschool in my Canadian town, it’s parking lot had 3 sections, the teachers lot which was an enclosed area surrounded by concrete barriers. On the other side of these barriers was a tight, double sided section of angled parking consisting mainly of late 90's/early 2000's economy cars, the
