Year:2003 Mileage:157000
Location:

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

Dearborn, Michigan, United States

I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR PERSONALLY SINCE 2004. I PURCHASED IT IN OHIO WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I'M A 61 YEAR OLD PHYSICIAN AND THE CAR SERVED SEVERAL PURPOSES. IT GETS OVER 25 MPG, ITS NOT A HIGH THEFT CAR(BIG ADVANTAGE IN DETROIT) AND ITS AS MUCH FUN TO DRIVE AS ANY HIGH DOLLAR SPORTS CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. PLUS, AND ADDED ADVANTAGE IS I FIT IN THE CAR COMFORTABLY AT 6'7', 265. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN HARD, BUT WELL MAINTAINED WITH ALL OF THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MOBIL ONE CHANGES AT 3K. THE CAR HANDLES GREAT IN THE SNOW WITH THE SNOW TIRES THAT ARE INCLUDED. I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR TODAY TO CALIFORNIA WITH NO WORRY. THE ONLY REASON THAT I'M SELLING IS MY WIFE BOUGHT ME A NEW GTI. THE BAD POINTS ARE SOME WEAR ON THE BOLSTER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I BOUGHT NEW FOAM AND WAS PLANNING TO REPAIR THAT. IT HAS THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FROM ONE OF THE O2 SENSORS. I HAD ONE REPLACED,,,,AND IT WAS THE WRONG ONE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO LEAVE IT, ALONG WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT WHICH THEY SAY IS A GIVEN TO HAPPEN WITH THESE CARS. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM IS A DENT ON THE RIGHT ROCKER FROM ME TURNING INTO A SIGN SUPPORT IN A BANK PARKING LOT COVERED BY SNOW. TIRES ARE MICHELIN MXM4s, SNOW TIRES ARE FIRESTONE.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Sat, 07 Sep 2013

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash

Thu, 11 Oct 2012

After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
