Das Auto: VW Chat

[razr390]

It's just a VR6 Passat with some GTI-like exterior decorative bits. No real performance enhancing anything. Looks ok-ish but meh

Not to mention, its in the neighborhood of $40k

The Passat GT is $30,000 MSRP.

my price info is obviously outdated... But still quite expensive for a plain jane sedan

Soooo...

I had the first feels of I made the choice today. Went to cars and coffee this morning. Saw an old car buddy who works at hybridracing here in BR, for a long time. They do K sawp things and make sweet boutique honduh parts. They got a new type R as a shop toy. All it has is an OTS hondata tune for a 40hp bump and down sized wheels to 18x9 to run a 255/40.

HOLY HELL THE CIVIC HAULS. The fourth gear pull is REAL strong and they are hitting 128mph on the straight at our local track (NMSP).

If you can look past the chincy interior, fake wide body and ridic cartoon wang, its down right for $35k. The front LSD does magic. The gear box is fantastic. It has plenty of room for meaty tires.

The usable storage is superior to the golf. Its hatch is massive and it has more rear leg room. Its biggest draw back is having to look at it, which is subjective, I'll admit.

So it's tuned? Get a downpipe and a t00n in your and you're pushing close to 400hp.

And they're not $35k. The honduh are worse than VW that's for sure.

Totes would have looked into an R if I was buying now. I have a feeling I would have picked it over the STI.

DSG R wouldn’t be a terrible move.

local diller gets 1 in per month. They sell it for MSRP. No more no less. Current one coming is presold. I've confirmed this, no mickey mouse shit.

Ive REALLY tempted to toon the damn thing but god damnit my whole selling my self this car was the 7 year warranty.

[Johnny_P]

I’m sure you could get it at MSRP. They look rad IMO. I’d take mine in bright red.

I almost bought a Type R at MSRP, deposit and all. I don't regret it at all at this stage in my life. It would be fun to hoon but I just couldn't live with fwd + 300 hp + snow and ice.... oh and the body work. It's just too much. The is perfect IMO, traction for days, good looking, nice interior and tech, and it rips in the kind of driving conditions I have to my disposal

More extreme and I'd look at high horsepower rwd cars, American preferably.

t00n + downpipe + clutch = profit

Actually I guess it's profit for Jack Daniels VW.

And say you were to get the honduh and t00n it. Same issue still applies when taking it back to the for service.

You also forgot to add crangshaft

I thought VW had done well with the MK6 tuning.

250hp in a 2.0L FWD car was a blast. I couldnt imagine almost 400.

Ppl are "rich" now, no one cares about gas prices. We're at over $4 in a lot of places and SUVs/Truks are flying off the shelves.

I had an run with the last tank of gas, mainly because its warmer out but not blistering A/C weather this week, and I've been driving non-stop freeway. Had the car do the conversions:

My GTI blows me away with the reported fuel economy. I have a 46 mile commute, one way. It’s 34 miles of interstate at about 75-85mph, and a mix of stop and go and twisty back roads for the rest. I routinely get - reported 34 MPG, with about 38-40 on the highway stretch.

It’s actually more than I get in the mini.
