Very rare VW-- 4-Motion AWD (basically Audi's Quattro) with turbocharged 1.8 4-cylinder coupled to a 5 speed manual transmission. Very responsive (unlike the 1.8 with automatic); it really can move out. Gas mileage is very good, and you won't have to worry about your ZF 5-speed auto going out to the tune of $5-8,000.
The Passat underpinnings are a mix of Audi A6 and A4 and the car has a real quality feel. Absolutely no squeaks, rattles or leaks, ultra smooth ride with precision handling. Far more solid than my previous Subaru Outback (the one that blew it's head gaskets and $2500 of my cash.) Just a delightful car, full of character, but polished. I'm the second owner and bought it about 6 months ago. I intended to keep it for awhile, so I did the following: new timing belt, coolant, thermostat, hoses ,serpentine belt, motor mounts. None were a problem--just preventative maintenance. The headlight adjusters were broken so I replaced the headlight assemblies. New Continental tires, 215/60-15. Highly rated (Tire Rack) for snow. Extremely smooth and quiet. New front brakes and rotors. And new Hitachi ignition coils, as the standard units in previous years were problematic. Clutch, AC, gearbox, power equipment, all are great. Shocks like new, no balljoint or tir-rod problems, and absolutely no rust. Nada. It really does drive like a new machine. So, you say, why you selling it? My 67 year old knee went out. Bad: I just broke the left tail-light, not in pictures. Small dent in left front fender lip, dent in lower left bottom edge of rear hatch. I think that happened when the hatch was up. Slight wrinkle in paint just below that on horizontal part of bumper--VW has an aftermarket piece that would cover that. I'll replace the lens if I get a decent deal, otherwise it's $200 for a new one. Alloy wheels look OK but not great. They're painted, so repair (if you care) is straight-forward. The side carpet in back has a few marks. Full sized spare by the way, and unused. That's my pitch. Always glad to talk or send more pix. Car is located on Vashon Island, WA. About 6 miles from Sea-Tac Airport. |

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal
Tue, Aug 18 2020WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
