What was your last car?

[Dirt Nasty]

You've got to admit, it seems strange to go from a new 5.0 GT to a base Golf, and a used one at that. He couldn't have had the Mustang for more than a couple of months. Seems odd. Not judging, just curious to hear his reasons.

Doesnt he have a GTI? If so I don't see what the big deal is. A new 5.0 is fast but it's not a german car... sorry. It's a cheap ford, Don't get me wrong the new fords are nice but it doesnt compare to a GTI in terms of refinement.

He lists "2011 GOLF 2.5" in his profile.

Ahh, well nevermind then.

'11 370Z.

Also had an '01 Jetta as a DD... but having two cars (and having to store one in the winter) without a garage wasn't for me. GTI seemed like the best option to replace both for the price.

No legandrex, you would have nightmares while you owned it -lol. I know an RS6 is not the same thing, but pretty similiar - DRC suspension, same brakes that have to be replaced every 10-15K (pads and rotors - $2K+), tires only last 10-15K, etc. I don't know exactly what the service intervals are for the RS4, but for the 6, you had to do spark plugs every 20K and timing belt service every 35K ($3000+).

Back to topic, I traded my '08 335i sedan 6MT for the GTI.

Not doubting that on the RS4...If I had major cashflow I always thought it would be the ultimate all season daily driver...even if costly to own. Look sweet with those rims and fender flares.

2005 Legacy GT

In 2006 I had a 05 GT Limited Sedan 5 speed and my wife had a 05 GT Limited Wagon-5 speed. Sedan was silver and wagon was Atlantic Blue Pearl. Fun and fast cars.

I test drove a 2012 Mustang V6 on my birthday, 2 days before buying my GTI. In comparison, the Mustang has a lame mostly plastic interior and crappy stereo system. After test driving my GTI I had no reasons to go back to the Ford dealership. The only lure of the Mustang was the power and to make my father jealous since he owns a Cuda. Took him for a drive in my GTI and he was impressed by the power and the quality of the interior.

Awesome bug! What happened? Looks like tornado?

 

[airkewldking]

Yep, little rock afb tornado. I was actually in the building that the sheet metal came off of

 

[lotstar]

Why not? They're completely different cars and different experiences. Checked it off the bucket list. I went from an '11 GT to the '11 GTI... Glad I did too..The idiot dealer I traded it too still has it for sale 7 months later...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Also i decided to stick to Motorcycles for performance. For a daily driver the Golf is all i need.
