i just read edmunds entry level sport sedan review. looks like the BMW got it's steering back in good graces with the auto press.
Jeez.
i just saw my first new Z car on the way to work. not bad. not bad at all. 30 day tags. you know that girl was pleased as pie with herself.
the TL/CL drive nice, but i don't think it is possible to be more generic! again, W8 Passat for me please
I don't know how this other guy got 255 at the wheels with only the little bit of stuff either. But he did.
So from the price above, you can get a Jetta 1.8T for ~%18,000 (the new GL 1.8T will be about that much with stick shift), then add the $4000 package for a total of $22,000 for a car with 280hp...

That'd be crazy. You'd probably spin the hubcabs right off and end up crashing because of the severe torque steer. I don't think the traction control would like 280 hp to the front wheels...
have you tried www.goapr.com
I love their Pro-E model
God bless RWD!!!
Also, go for the Neuspeed springs. That's gonna be my first mod, to stiffen up cornering potential. And a strut bar too, that's on the way...
Friday the 13th I guess...
A4's got a stunning interior and exterior, in my opinion (aren't these all opinions?), and it handles nicely but it's totally flat in terms of power and because it's FWD it's just not entertaining to push (yes Quattro exists and it's still a power-sucking useless doodad for so cal). One big flaw of the A4: no interior room at all. Well another flaw: it's a VW.
TL...accord with a faster engine and better tranny. Cramped, slow, bland inside and out. The only other time I thought I'd fall asleep on a test drive I was in an 02 Camry SE V6.
not to mention, the wood trim is warping on the dash. typical german car issues i guess. i swear, the more you think cars get better as technology gets better, the more one problem is just traded in for another. sure, the BMW has almost 14k miles on it, but BMW won't let me get the oil changed until the car says it is ready for it's oil to be changed. and why would the wood trim be warping and popping off?
i am reminded everyday that VW is not worse or better than any other maker. same for Kia and Hyundai. same for BMW and Lexus. all cars just plain stink sometimes. at least drive the one that makes you happy!
the 2000 TL got the 5-speed automatic, with sportshift (Accord doesn't have this feature....though there's a significant delay using the sportshift on the 1999 TL 4-speed)
i will give you the window regulators, though i have personally never had problems, i am just waiting for it to happen.
bad body panels on a Gen III VW, for sure. but not in 4 years bud
The only thing messed up are the regs, but there are new parts for those and VW is replacing all them for free when they break. So it's all good.

If I had to complain about my stereo, I would have to say it lacks midrange... I always thought it had enough bass.
