This is a very solid vehicle for one with over 300,000 miles on it. It does have some scratches, small rust spots, and other imperfections, inside and out. If you're looking for a vehicle in perfect cosmetic condition, this is not the car for you.

That said, this car is in nice shape overall, and is functioning very well mechanically. I have kept track of the mileage for the entire time I've owned the car - almost 50,000 miles, and it's consistently gotten about 36 miles per gallon. That's with a rooftop box that I've had on it the entire time. Without the rooftop box, it should get from 2-5 mpg more.

I live in a wintry place, and the car starts right up without a problem. I added a block heater which I use all winter long. The car drives great, has plenty of zip, and is fun to drive.

All service has been performed by a local dealer that specializes in European cars. I have all the records from the time that I've owned the car.

I'm selling it because I live 5 miles down a dirt road and it's just not designed for driving on that kind of surface. I've had to put too much money into repairing things like axles, control arms, wheel bearings, and the engine mount. Actually all these things were replaced about 500 miles ago, so she's in about tip-top shape and ready to find a more suitable home and driver.

If you have other questions, please ask. Thanks for looking!

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
