I bought this car when I was in grad school out in Tucson, so it's got pretty heavy tint in the windows. It already had an aftermarket CD player installed with an auxiliary jack that's pretty nice for playing music through your phone. The sun/moon roof is also in good shape and is great for Michigan days where it's not quite hot out, but you just want a little fresh air and sunshine in your car!

As I mentioned, this car does have some issues. I got a new job and have had this car for a while, so I'm looking for something new. It also doesn't hurt that I don't like the VW dealership here and refuse to give them any more of my business. The timing belt and turbo have been replaced, as well as the water pump (they usually tell you to replace it at the same time as the timing belt). Lately the power steering has been a little bit growly. It smooths right out when you add some power steering fluid, but like I said, I'm not giving my dealership another dime to fix whatever leak there might be. If I was planning to keep the car for another year, I'd probably get it fixed. The ABS has been out for a while. The brakes still work fine, and I honestly haven't really noticed any difference. I've been using this car as my daily driver since I bought it, and it's been a lot of fun. That being said, it has a number of little scrapes and scuffs around the body. There's damage to the rear passenger wheel well.

It's tough to find a stick shift these days, so this would be a great car if you want to learn! It shifts very easily, and the turbo offers some nice pick up when you really want to move. I don't know what else I'm supposed to say...happy bidding! Keep in mind that the car probably needs some repairs. Seems to run fine for me, though. There's a low reserve in case the auction doesn't meet what I was offered for a trade-in on a new vehicle. Good Luck! Bid Early! Bid Often!

This vehicle is being relisted because the previous winning bidder had issues with the terms of the auction. Please review the item condition, description, and payment terms. If you have any questions or concerns, I would be more than happy to address them before the end of the auction. Finally, bid what you feel the car is worth - this is an auction, not a classified ad!

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

Volkswagen could build plug-in hybrids in China

Sun, Apr 6 2014

When you're Europe's largest automaker and your largest global market happens to be the one most notorious for its pollution (China), some solutions just present themselves. Volkswagen may be heeding that call. During the upcoming Beijing Motor Show, the company is expected to announce plans to produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in China, Reuters says, citing sources within the company. Few details have emerged, though the plug-ins will likely be produced at VW's Foshan factory in South China, which currently makes the Golf and Audi A3 and has plans to eventually make 600,000 vehicles annually. News has been percolating for a while, as Oliver Schmidt, general manager engineering and environmental office for Volkswagen Group of America, said last March that the company was planning at least two plug-in hybrid lines under the VW badge (and another three with its Audi and Porsche affiliates), including possibly a Touareg and Jetta PHEV. VW said late last month that it was looking to speed up development of "particularly eco-friendly models" made by Shanghai Volkswagen as well as developing a "new, very eco-friendly vehicle" with First Automotive Works (FAW). Earlier this year, VW unveiled its Golf GTE plug-in hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show. That model has a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to provide 201 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The car can travel as many as 81 miles on electric power alone.

VW teams up with legendary electronic musicians Kraftwerk for 3D Autobahn concert

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Electronic music fans know Kraftwerk. To paraphrase a famous TV anchor, they're kind of a big deal. The band is in the midst of an eight-concert show at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, which includes a full 3D accompaniment. Why, you ask, is this on Autoblog, then? Well, Volkswagen is sponsoring it, highlighting the role that its iconic Beetle played on the band's equally iconic fourth album, Autobahn. And besides, it's Friday afternoon, and who doesn't want to listen to the soothing synth notes of early EDM pioneers? Check out the featurette on the connection between VW and Kraftwerk, and then for giggles, scroll down and give the first track of Autobahn a listen. This content is hosted by a third party.
