About two weeks ago a friend of mine bought a MK V GTI. I was very impressed with it and took a trip to the dealer to see the new VW Rabbit/Golf. I have always wanted a VW but was never really impressed with them. This car is very comfortable and even though has a sub $20k pricetag, feels even more solid and quality than the tC. I hope to have the car available in a few weeks as the manual transmission is not an option that many people want.

The tC turns two years old this week. She has been a great car but I am a big guy who now has to be the main driver for his friend... so 2 extra doors and some headroom and legroom are very much needed.

Thank you SL for all the great info and help over the years. I thought about holding out for the new xB.... but the rabbit just appeals much more to me.

 

the GTI has more room? my friend has one and it seems so much smaller!! anyway... good luck with that... i'm in the market for a new car too... but for a different reason... stupid hit and run drivers!!!! jerk totaled my car

 

what happened w/ the tC? Did you trade it in? Did you receive any type of deal w/ the VW? Congrats to moving to your next car.

 

Speaking from experience, VWs are notorious for their electrical problems. But if that's what you want, go for it.

 

my friend has a jetta that has been thru 2 gurls and now him and he beats the ____ outta that thing and it still runs strong. i think VW are great cars and dooode there keys are the most fun since hell i dunno but tthere foooking SWEET! haha

 

yet another reason to buy a VW - AWESOME FOOKING KEYS

 

Congrats and good luck with the Rabbit.

 

Do you get a guitar with the car? I'll buy it, lol... Congrats!

 

Congrats on a new vehicle, enjoy.
