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

they are good and have diesel options for better mileage

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))

[maks]

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

yeah i just stunt my car right at their necks

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

european one i think:
