Carmax is willing to give me $6400 for my 2012 GTI. I bought it in 2017 and financed it for about six years; I owe just over $4000 on it. It’s very tempting.

I kinda like it. Personally, I’m dealing with health issues that make driving a manual transmission car a problem. As much as I love stick-shifts, I find a good dual-clutch to be pretty awesome as well.
The interior seems like a nice place to be, ballpark 200 crank horsepower/torque are no problem, you get a diff, and the exterior looks really good, even better than the Elantra N-Line and Jetta GLI and Forte GT.
I got my Mk6 GTI off the used lot at a San Diego Chrysler/Dodge dealership a little more than four years ago. It was a one-owner car with a clean Carfax, so I had to do it.
When I was a kid in high school, I learned that cassette cases were good for holding a couple cigarettes or joints in your pocket. If a teacher asked what was in your pocket, BAM! Van Halen’s 1984 or Metallica’s Ride the Lightning was what you showed ‘em.
My kids hate getting in and out of the back of my two-door GTI, this could be PERFECT
Back when my dad was driving Top Fuel funny cars, he claimed he did a near-vertical wheel-stand the length of the track. He never told me how fast he was going or what happened to the car though.
this is no shit, but the inline four that VW uses in GTIs are the first engine I have ever felt comfortable to do an oil change or anything else myself, with the exceptions being walnut blasting the intake valves and replacing the timing chain when that’s needed, but I’m pretty sure I can replace the coolant system…
if you ever find yourself in the Salt Lake City area with a European car that needs some work, Wofford’s European Car is excellent. I take my GTI to them for the stuff I can’t do or don’t have the time to do. And I swear to all that is holy, that is the cleanest shop I have ever been to; you could eat off the floor…
I don’t know man, my GTI’s been cheaper when it comes to repairs over the MDX I used to have, and both cars were purchased used. Granted, I had an exhaust leak on the GTI that was around $1400 to repair due to it being the exhaust manifold that was leaking, but the MDX had more stuff going wrong with it at pretty much…
I lost it at "delivered the goods faster than Amazon Prime".
Ten years ago I somehow managed to get passes to get into one of the auctions at Pebble Beach during Concours d’Elegance, and I only wanted to see one thing: the Vincent Black Shadow that was on the block for that weekend’s events.
Well, the C8 Corvette is ugly from every angle except the front, then it looks like a Corvette.
If you don’t like the Elantra N-Line’s styling, but you want all the kit and warranty, there’s the Kia Forte GT.
The Kia dealer in the Ogden area is ok.
Man, I had a ‘93 in that shade of green and tan two-tone paint with the 4.0 V6. I traded it for a 2006 V6 Mustang in Feb. 2006 because after moving to California, I was worried about fixing anything wrong with it for it to pass SMOG and I think I might’ve messed up the frame during said move to California (I wasn’t…
This is a good looking car. There's no bullshit to the design.
I didn't see the Continentals, but the lack of curbing on the wheels, clean interior, and no modifications had me go "Nice Price". If it had repair records I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
No Dice, it’s a heavy-ass car with a weak V6 and the cargo area is smaller than a Crosstour’s.
Fuck Trump.
