I bought this from a family friend. Has been well taken care of. I am heading to college now and need the money as well as you can't have a car there. Here is some pros and cons.

Pros

-Engine is powerful and pulls strong

-Great MPG at 30ish

-Great 5 speed transmission, has a nice pretty short throw to it

-Super smooth suspension

-Tons of speakers and an aftermarket deck

-Black dash interior with tan leather seating

-All lights work, heater works, AC works but could use a recharge

-Glass is great condition

-Newer tires, new airfilter and cabin filter

-Breaks work great

Cons

-Has high mileage but nearly 80% of it is highway miles

-Family used car, has a few stains on the carpet. The body doesn't have any serious dings, just small smudges

-Sunroof and all other power windows work but drivers doesn't and passengers goes up 98% and you can push the last 2%

-Leaks a little coolant when it is turned off (asked the mechanic and he said vw circulates the coolant when cooling down and that is when it leaks a little)

-Even smaller oil leak

-A little clear coat is peeling too. Look to picture for the worst of it

-I was also told the tire rods are starting to be worn out. You can feel a tiny wobble almost at 60 mph but at 63 and 57 it goes away.

-Cruise control sometimes doesn't work

Just want to be honest, so i mentioned EVERYTHING that I saw that could be wrong with it

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
