Thinking of trading in the BMW

Wake27 · 07-22-2010, 10:00 PM

for a Jetta. They are made for the autobahn after all.

If this isn't a joke, VW has good financial deals right now.

NYC6 · 07-23-2010, 09:15 AM

good idea

Ignignokt · 07-23-2010, 09:30 AM

I've considered the Jetta or Golf TDI for my next commuter car. I think I'm going to just get the Fiesta though.

I don't know why I just posted a legitimate reply to an obvious troll thread.

brocken · 07-23-2010, 09:30 AM

I'm thinking of going back to VAG(wait, is that the right acronym?) too.
After all the problems I'm having with my 335 the S4 looks awfully tempting.

Yes, they are VAG.

I think right now the Passat CC is 0% APR and if you get a Golf TDI, I believe it's around 500-800 bucks back for diesel credit. My coworker has one and loves it. I would probably trade my car in for either just to free up some cash.

When I was on their site, I did build a CC just for kicks, but then I had to remind myself that I was looking for a commuter car to go beside the 335. Getting another decent sized car would kind of defeat the purpose. Oddly enough, when I was building my Fiesta on the Ford site, I ended up building a pretty kickass 5.0 and GT500. Again, defeats the purpose.

Ha yeah I was definitely trolling, I had just saw there new ad campaign. Glad there was some response though, not 300 views and not a single comment. I would have felt really dumb.

Better than "Joy" or the "Ultimate Driving Machine."

3002 tii · 07-23-2010, 11:04 AM

i originally got introduced to mods through my first vw and i have only good things to say. i think the new passat cc looks great. too bad the 3.6 4-motion is so expensive else that'd be my first choice. i was also looking at mk6 tdi as my commuter at one point but it was impossible to find one at the time. those things easily get 50+ mpg!

Seriously? You think the VW made for the Autobahn is better than the Ultimate Driving Machine?

abisson · 07-23-2010, 01:00 PM

So far so good with my GTI.

Love it.

They only placed better than Suzuki for the '09 JD Power ratings.... As much as we complain about our fueling problems and rattles, it could be worse.... 260 problems per 100 vehicles. OUCH.

pmeloche · 07-23-2010, 03:38 PM

I had a VW Golf GTI VR6 for two years in 2002-2004. That car was always broken,

Never VW again.

Gtrain · 07-23-2010, 03:39 PM

Why would you want to trade in the bmw? I have an 09 Jetta TDI for daily, it's great but wouldn't trade my bmw for it.

I don't buy the hype as the "Ultimate Driving Machine." Especially since they've been packing the pounds (and the dollars) generation after generation.

stickypaws · 07-23-2010, 05:57 PM

Who gives a rat's ass if they have 0% financing. In the end you're still stuck driving a VW.

Whats wrong with a VW? I'd rather drive a GTI than a 323-328-330. Even with the torque steer and FWD factor

NewYearsBoy · 07-23-2010, 06:48 PM

YUCK... Hate VWs.....

It was a joke. Obviously one that failed. Ha

I haven't driven or driven in a huge amount of cars, but I definitely think the slogan is pretty solid for them. IMO of course.

Really a 330? I love mine. I'd never actually trade it for a VW. I don;t care what model. Especially the GTI, I think its friggin ugly.
