so i recently posted about a horrible accident i had, totalled the car, (im ok though thankfully) its been a couple of weeks and we're just not finalizing all the money things with insurance company... so i was told its time to start looking for a new car : (

i've been looking at the VW GTI, a 2006...used is cheaper than new, obviously, so i found a couple, just wanted to know what everyone elses thoughts on the car were.

thanks

 

i actually like them, but would vote for an 08 Civic Si.

 

vw's have the lowest consumer confidence in the us and one of the tech's at my toyota dealership has an vw r32 with a bunch of electrical problems.

and used cars are cheaper because you don't know what they have been through, and people don't buy GTI's to drive around like a granny.

 

and vw's are not the easiest to work on

 

It really depends on what your going to use it for, DD, build the motor, what do you want to do with it, then I can give you some guidance...

 

gti are nice and if you going to get a used one why not try looking in to the VW R32 that car is really nice and quick

 

id get one...the 2.0ts are nice...chipped youl be faster then lots of cars out there...car have some nice gains...i was gonna get one of them before i bought the tc...

 

My friend has a MK4 GTI turboed, 2.8T. It's pretty sick. He is not even intercooled yet.

 

r32!

 

hellz yea!!! R32 FTW

 

r32s are nice...but alot of money to do more work to them...id rather but a turbo and work on that then an r32...

 

you mean a 2.8 vr6, which is naturally aspirated v6 engine. so he has turbocharged it and it isn't intercooled yet, is that what your saying?

not being a d!ck, just trying to be clear in what your saying.

 

f@$ wagans sorry if u get one the old gti new body is wrong or u can get the rabbit its cute

 

I like the new GTI no doubt, the new R series is nice. but too much money. i would go with new SI

 

I really like the MKV GTIs, they are really nice. I was thinking about getting one a while back...

 

If you don't mind spending the extra money and you don't want another tC, then go for the Civic Si. I wouldn't spend that extra money on it but if you don't mind it's a nice little car. I would just move in to the $30K+ cars or get another tC.

 

its not a V6.
like you said its a VR6.
its like a combination of a straight 6 and a V6.
people call them staggered 6 cylinders

 

GTIs are pretty fast, but if you want to pay out the a$$ for maintenance and sub-par reliability, then go for it! Otherwise I think you should get another tC or a Civic ... maybe even a SKYYYY (I love the looks, lol).
