I've never bought a car from them. I test drove an A3 right before I drove down the street to my VW diller to buy my :turboyaris: . Zero contact with them since. They must've kept my email for the last 8 years. :lol:

Baller tracking system at work. That slight pinch on the handshake? They actually installed a tracker in your right hand that is powered by furious back and forth motions.

Not on the near horizon, no. My :turboyaris: will be only 8 years old next month.

Only 8, huh? Coming up on 4 years with the Mazda in March. At 4 1/2, it'll be the longest I've ever owned a car.

My last 3 cars I kept 11 years each. Didn't plan to but it just happened that way so I'm expecting about 3 more years out of this one.

Wife's car, on the other hand, turns 10 YO next month so she may be due in another year or so.

A kid at work had one of these for about a year. Now he drives a Golf R.

He said the RS was a huge POS and constantly had something that needed it to go to the dealer for repairs.

Good ol Matt Farah, his choice in cars is always very interesting. I like his take on most vehicles also! Thanks for posting this.
