does anyone have experience with Volkswagen Golfs?

[timmy]

i need some opinions on them..

i heard theyre reliable in all aspects and good on fuel but the only downside is that their vehicle parts are a lot more expensive compared to other popular brands in Aus..
anyone know if these cars give you no hassles?

[juji]

Ask Clay or Jon

[timmy]

maybe they will read this thread.

[juji]

not likely, you need to send pm to them if you really need a help

[lnopia the great]

they are good and have diesel options for better mileage

[lnopia the great]

the parts shouldnt be expensive unless they are rare in aus

[maks]

Just so happens I own a Golf, it's tiny and gets good mileage but inside I've somehow got more leg room than I did in my SUV

The turbo diesel gets something like 40mpg but they're super expensive around here so I bought the regular gas 2.0

[timmy]

Yeah im looking at a 2 liter 2 door convertible golf i really dig how small it is i hate driving long vehicles... ive read only good things about its fuel consumption and reliability .... but people say the main reason not to get one would be because of the repair costs if you somehow manage to damage its parts or get into an accident and its your fault...

[juji]

You already got a help from maks, lock this thread now

[timmy]

stop it

[juji]

10. You're a faggot with voice changer

[timmy]

elz im just saying that it seems like a great car im only in two minds because of the repair costs(german cars cost more to repair here for some reason(japanese cars on the other hand are cheaper))

[timmy]

i seek to exploit posters here

[juji]

[maks]

[timmy]

Are you serious? is possible to behead people using a car?

[blumpkin blownuts]

it's true about the stunt driver thing though at least for me, ive managed to get up a 30 deg grade on pack ice with a RWD

[blumpkin blownuts]

yeah i just stunt my car right at their necks

[jon]

last year i researched 2011 models and test-drove the TDI and i have nothing negative to say about them

there don't seem to be any drawbacks other than that if you buy a new one now, you join a group of truly insufferable, bald assholes

[jon]

there is some question as to whether the fuel injection system in the TDI is worth the price tag

because it was only recently put into production in the latest models, there is no good historical data to prove its reliability

people are concerned about its ability to last over the years 50% because it is a product of innovation and 50% because the fundamentals behind its operation are a throwback to a time when the fuel quality afforded it

basically it is a high-rpm, high-pressure system which depends almost entirely on the fuel itself as a lubricant

this was never a problem before the EPA was instituted to ruin vehicles, fuels, etc.; today's fuels can be very questionable

[jon]

european one i think:

[Garfield]

Yeah im looking at a 2 liter 2 door convertible golf i really dig how small it is i hate driving long vehicles... ive read only good things about its fuel consumption and reliability .... but people say the main reason not to get one would be because of the repair costs if you somehow manage to damage its parts or get into an accident and its your fault...

[Garfield]

[maks]

you mean a cabriolet?? :rofl:

in all fairness maybe they're not considered a gay man's car in australia

[Garfield]

[maks]

I wonder if Pontiac ever exported the Fiero to Australia

[Garfield]

ferrari never,

[skrizach]

mazda miata?

[maks]

OHMYGAWD Miatas are tho thweet

[skrizach]

_XemVTdwvuc

[maks]

That guy's full of shit, the jetta isn't a chick car it's just a generic car like a crown vic or a lumina

[skrizach]

yeah and pt cruiser isn't a guy car.
I just remember this from a long times ago I saw it once and this conversation we're having reminded me of it.

[maks]

also the miata doesn't go both ways, if a guy is driving one you can rest assured he's a fag

[timmy]

there was one up for $8000 with only 78000 km on the odometer, lady driver... immaculate condition inside and out.. it sounds good on paper but you get there and the lady is no where to be found and apparently digital odometers can be changed by paying some smuck 200 bucks and he will replace the chip...

now you come in here and tell me that shits gay? you nailed the last coffin bro

[timmy]

im gonna get a toyota, mazda or nissan instead

[jon]

presumably the GTI is out of your price range

[timmy]

im not spending more than 10k i havnt got a full time job yet last week of exams

edit:yep just talked to a family friend who had a volvo truck and it cost him a bit over 10 thousand for a new clutch this brand i s down right brutl down here good car but overpriced parts

[Garfield]

8k for a cabrio??? is your money that useless? they go for like 3k over here and are mostly bought by high school girls

[Garfield]

dont they have skylines over there? save up a thousand dollars for a downpayment and finance one of those for like 20k

[maks]

http://www.howsafeisyourcar.com.au/~/media/Images/CarImages/Volkswagen/Golf%2034%20front%20passenger%209.JPG?mw=304&mh=176 this is considered gay ??

the older model was, this one not so much. as long as you point out it's a golf and never call it a cabriolet you should be alright

[timmy]

wait im half asleep not sure if he said clutch or gearbox

[maks]

im gonna get a toyota, mazda or nissan instead

Out of those options go with the nissan, I was in a sentra that flipped over doing 70mph those fuckers are pretty solid

[timmy]

who would get car finance you cant pay it off early that would be retarded

didnt know it was called a cabriolet...

[timmy]

yea i only hear good things about jap cars

[maks]

it's a stereotype and if you never heard of it before it probably doesn't even exist in australia so just buy the car you like. the golf convertible looks more like a saab than a cabriolet anyway


yea i only hear good things about jap cars

if you're over 6 feet tall don't buy a honda or a toyota

[maks]

if this had been a convertible they would have had to identify me by my fingerprints

http://comeontothelord.com/img/20070106-sentra-accident-002.jpg

[jon]

nissan maximas are all good cars, even used ones from the mid-80s are still serviceable

[m0nde]

pd: just wanted to say, i'm not elz either

[jon]

if this had been a convertible they would have had to identify me by my fingerprints

living with a convertible is indeed different

when i'm the first person off the line at any intersection i always crawl forward until i'm sure nobody is going to run the red

probably also helps if you don't get drunk with a friend who thinks that just because he's really good at need 4 speed he can do 70 on twisty backroads in a 4 cylinder grocery getter. my neck is still all fucked up from that crash.

[blumpkin blownuts]

i still start from an intersection about a half second before the light turns green, even though i drive a convertible
i dont do that shit when i have passengers of course

[timmy]

bob living life on the edge as usual

[blumpkin blownuts]

live to die, die to live

[maks]

won't you

[Garfield]

i had roll cages in my miatas :dunno:

[oOBatteryOo]
