Yeah, I normally do not buy new for sure, but VW is blowing out their '17 models like crazy. This car was on the lot in Charlotte sitting at $8500 off of MSRP, and I used my USAC license to knock another $500 off. $9000 off on a car that I really wanted, I had to to jump on it. It is good luck most Americans do not like wagons.
kind of want V8 phaeton for shits and giggles...
they had just come out when i was looking a year a go i think.....just ended up getting a 2014 5 cylinder jetta wagon w/big fucking sunroof....fan of no car payment...
They're still making a 5 cyl motor? That's pretty cool...
And its one of those cars that is so similar to other models, it just makes no sense. Might as well get a Focus.It's a Ford.
yup....
If you get 8spd GC, you have to get the adaptive cruise control, worth it’s weight in gold. Recently tried the Toyota version, it’s a joke. the bmw is better than the subie version I’ve tried too.
Use this to sell. It will totally work. Hahaha.
I prefer to have fun even when I am not expected to during daily mundane routines, therefore having a small lightweight vehicle that I can toss around and that gives me at least some utility (like getting a bike to a trail head) is absolutely a life saving thing for me. Wifey drives the utility vehicle, I don't need two. Motor bikes are super impractical things I don't have time for anyway.
Thats my problem with it. I dont know OPs preferences.It's a Ford.
Damn. Two new cars inside of 6 months?
You've spent more time in Germany than me. I'll take your word for it.
Srsly. This place is going down the tubes...
one might say the same about a bike...do you not own a relatively high end mountain bike because it gives you enhanced smiles in the woods when you could be riding the same trails on something that cost a lot less? same for a better-equipped, funner-to-drive car, especially if it brings a bit of pleasure to something you have to do every day anyway. i’ll show myself off your lawn now.
The Toyota shut off below like 25mph or something. The Subaru my parents have turns off when you stop. My BMW will stop itself for 3 seconds, then it will remain with the brake on. You an also engage while stopped, then take your foot off the brake, and it stays there. You do have to press a button on the steering wheel when traffic starts moving again, but basically any time it keeps moving at any speed or stops for 3 seconds or less, you don't have to do anything and if it's more than 3, you just have to hit the re-engage. Nice coming back from long rides hundreds of miles away when you hit traffic.
My first car was a Skoda. RWD, engine in the rear, tons of fun on snow even with just ~50HP.I still want one of these...
There was a second gen on a trailer the other night, I am guessing you can import an 89-94 under the same laws they are importing the Skyline.
Move to New Zealand. And buy a Hilux. Live happily ever after....
Has to be 25 years old.
I rented Toyota one a few days ago, had to be at least a '17 since rental companies never keep stock more than about a year, it had the ACC, but it was a watered down version of what I was used to. My parents got the subie less than 2 years ago too, similar thing, at zero it kicks off (and the car starts rolling forward under it's own power, surprising if you were expecting it to stop). With the subie though the lane-keeping is more aggressive and tends to work better, but that's not a feature I'd have or use (my BMW didn't have it anyway).
