2011 VW Golf TDI 4dr 6sp MT Tornado Red 

price is set at market value for the base car plus half of the parts only cost.

If you want the fastest TDI out there with better handling than a GTI, this is it.   60+ MPG Highway, 40+ around town.  I have several cars, and this has been one of my favorites: unstoppable torque, great handling, and the best gas mileage of anything I have ever owned.  But its time to make room.  There isn’t anything I would change about this car.  You can spend $ 35k+ to build your own, or  take this one home for a lot less.  The new common rail 2.0 is a great engine, but the stock intake and exhaust chokes these vehicles robbing them of power and efficiency.  So the week after I took delivery of it, I worked with Performance Diesel and Malone tuning to install the best breathing and best programmed system available.  Malone’s website lists 184 bhp and 333 lb-ft torque, and I don’t doubt it for a second.  In fact, the numbers for this car are probably better because of the custom stainless exhaust.  The fuel economy is better than stock by over 20% city and highway.  The sound is perfect.  Not loud, but throaty when full throttle.   And you can hear the turbo whistle a little at idle.  Its been a great daily driver and family trip car, no complaints whatsoever.  The tucked away hitch works great for a bicycle rack.  The other great thing about this car is the suspension and handling.  It has a full KWV2 coil-over and sway bar setup from ECS Tuning, so it handles better than any GTI could ever dream of – and gets 2X the gas mileage.  The height shown in the pictures is at the lowest setting possible, it can be adjusted about 3” higher if you want, and the shocks are adjustable too.  I have like new Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice snow tires mounted on 16” black steelies if you want them for $ 450.  All stock parts are included if you want to return the car to its original configuration.  Waxed and in a heated garage with owners manual, service history, both keys, etc.  Clear title.  Dealer serviced with synthetic oil only, suspension adjustment and alignment by independent VW shop.

Standard factory items:  Satellite radio, Bluetooth, heated seats, sunroof, rubber TDI mats, etc.

Autoblog Minute: VW 'tip of the iceberg' in diesel emissions scandal

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Some are calling Volkswagen just the tip of the iceberg in the diesel emissions scandal. Autoblog's Adam Morath reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Some are calling Volkswagen just the tip of the iceberg in the diesel emissions scandal. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. Here in the U.S. the EPA found defeat devices on certain Volkswagen vehicles. Across the pond however concerned environmentalist groups including [00:00:30] Transportation & Environment say that the issues could be more widespread in Europe. Nico Muzi, a spoken for Transportation and Environment was quoted in the Automotive News as saying: "Volkswagen is just the tip of the iceberg..." Muzi goes on to claim that cheating is widespread, and that results produced from European emissions tests, which are not administered by a government agency, show differences in data that "...are so much, it can't be explained." Clean vehicle manager at Transport & Environment Greg Archer spoke to Bloomberg Business about the need to reform emissions testing in Europe: [00:01:00] [Bloomberg Video Clip] While it's clear that automakers are engineering vehicles and software to perform well on emissions tests, the real question is whether or not other OEMs, besides Volkswagen, are using defeat devices to cheat the tests, either here or in Europe.

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
