[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Setsa"]Congrats, but I personally dislike VWs.peanutbudduh
Yeah...same here...worked in a shop for 6 years...that have tons of problems...maybe more than any other vehicles we saw

Maybe VWs, but I never hear anyone have problems with GTIs.

We did not see too many GTI's (only 1 I remember)...so I don't know...mostly jetta's and bugs -I just know I will NEVER buy a VW...the ones we saw had soooo many issues

My mom's Jetta hasn't has a single problem and we've had it for 6 years. I do know that the VWs aren't so great in the JD Power survey. I think the Bugs and the Jettas are responsible for it, they are the lowest end cars in the VW name. GTIs though, never heard any complaints.

Jettas huh? Sounds right? :) I've had to replace a fuel pump hose, two coil packs, three spark plugs (outside of regular maintenance, they were causing the engine to misfire violently), a brake-recognition chip (wouldn't let me take the car out of park since it wouldn't sense that the brake was depressed, that was fun) and plenty more that I'm probably forgetting.

My next car will probably be another VW though. 2012 Golf R hopefully. :)

Glad to know yours is doing fine...always a blessing -just having worked around cars and with people that had for 40+ years, there are certain vehicles I will never buy...VW (too many issues to name), Pontiac (electrical and cooling), Dodge (transmission and insides fall apart)

It's a GTI. A Golf is a Golf, and a GTI is a GTI. They are different cars. There is no such thing as a "Golf GTI." The GTI is not a version of the Golf. It's an entirely different car. The frame is the same, but the body panels, the engine, the transmission, the suspension, the interior, and the styling are all different. They are considered two completely different cars.

He said it's a new car, not his first car. And it's not even that pricey. It's like $28,000. Good deal for a great car.

really man? yes, it's just "GTI" over here now. you said "There's no such thing as a Golf GTI", you are WRONG. that's like saying there's no such car as a Chevelle SS. sure, it's not made anymore, that doesn't mean that there is "no such thing".

It is a Golf GTI just like a there is a WRX STI. You can call it a GTI though since most people understand what it is by its the same thing for any car to denote extra performance from S or X or Z or SS. Still for the price i would of gotten a Camaro V6 which has 300hp and gets almost the same mileage as the GTI (29 vs 31 hwy).

As for the TC, go to an APR or Revo dealer and get a Stage 1 upgrade. Only alters the ECU, so you can get a respectable 250-hp and a similar torque value out of it. 200-hp is not enough for that (or any) car.

Dark__Link

Uh how is that so? Cars can do fine with 70bhp.. You don't need a lot of power unless you take your car on track days.

I would imagine it was to expand the market for it. They wanted to market it as a performance car, and maybe Americans who were looking for a performance car didn't regard the VW Golf as sporty. So by extension, the "Golf GTI" was just as boring. Drop the "Golf" and it becomes a new car that looks better to the performance market.

true, but i find cars with 60-70hp very poor on the motorway, but nippy in the town.

Well power isn't wholly indicative of performance... torque is far more important. If that 70-hp engine could develop something like 200-ft-lb of torque... then it wouldn't be so bad. But you aren't getting anywhere if both values are both around 70. I dunno about you, but driving is fun for me. I don't just drive to get from point A to point B.

True. My mum owns a saab 9-5 with 250bhp, and 258ib of torque, and it's well known that a 9-5 can go faster from 40-70 in 2nd gear than a porsche 911 turbo (420bhp), so yeh torque is a major factor.

As for the TC, go to an APR or Revo dealer and get a Stage 1 upgrade. Only alters the ECU, so you can get a respectable 250-hp and a similar torque value out of it. 200-hp is not enough for that (or any) car.

Uh how is that so? Cars can do fine with 70bhp.. You don't need a lot of power unless you take your car on track days.

Well power isn't wholly indicative of performance... torque is far more important. If that 70-hp engine could develop something like 200-ft-lb of torque... then it wouldn't be so bad. But you aren't getting anywhere if both values are both around 70. I dunno about you, but driving is fun for me. I don't just drive to get from point A to point B.

Yeah the torque would do very well if you needed to overtake and that.
I wouldn't know if driving is fun because I don't drive, I ride a motorcycle. 8) but my friend who recently started driving said he's got a bit bored of it and wants to go back to riding a motorcycle, so I dunno.. I'll pass my test just incase I need a car. :P

Damn that is a sexy car. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun to drive. It would be magic with a stick shift.

Kinda figured, given your name. :P You're definitely spoiled when it comes to acceleration. A 70-hp engine in a car won't get you anywhere, but the same thing in a bike is gonna rocket you to 60 and beyond faster than the majority of cars could.

Haha yeah, well I recently passed the final test for motorcycles, so I can get any bike I want now and get something ridiculous with more than 100bhp. :lol:
Sticking to my 125cc, 13bhp bike for now, it get's me to 80mph so I'm happy. :P
