Volkswagen Eurovan Westfalia Weekender Edition With Pop Top on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
Want to live your VW camper van dreams? I did. I have wanted a pop-up camper van since I was 16 years old. I found this one two years ago and bought it in June 2012 from a private seller in Illinois. It was clean, low-mileage and treated like a member of the family. The engine was replaced at approximately 112k miles so while the van itself has 148k miles, the engine is a baby of 36k. I've lived two footloose and camping-filled years in it and am moving on to my next lifelong dream (Vintage Airstream or Scamp renovation!).
The van is in great shape. I've kept it road ready and would drive it anywhere. (In fact, we're probably on a trip right now so there might be a few more miles on it by the time you buy it. It is my every day vehicle that gets used to drive to the train station as well.) It seats 7 and sleeps 4. There's a cooler under the driver's side rear-facing seat, which keeps your snacks and bevvies cool. Plus, it has a factory installed auxilliary battery so you can keep it on without draining your battery. It has an easily removable rear-facing seat on the passenger side, fold-up table and of course, the rear bench folds down into a great, big comfy bed. You'll see photos of all of the interior screens and curtains along with the cooler, etc. The van was in a minor car accident in 2013. Someone pulled out of a lot and into me at a low speed. No frame damage was done and the van was repaired by VW loving experts at a certified auto-body shop. The sliding door was replaced and the passenger side was repainted so it literally looks as good as new. There is a crack in the back gate and a small paint ding on the van. All the curtains are functioning and close up tight for camping privacy. There are extra screens, etc. with the van. The front of the pop top has some canvas repairs to keep it bug free. I replaced the ac at 124k. All new tires at 136k. New battery, tie rods, ball joints and complete alignment at 141k. New muffler at 145k, which I did pretty much just for YOU dear buyer so that it sounds sweet and runs like a top. I also had the interior detailed so it's clean as a whistle. |

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
MotorWeek looks back at the 1986.5 VW Scirocco 16V
Wed, Jan 21 2015It's back to the past with MotorWeek for a video dive into the 1986.5 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V, the coupe that carried the pennant for VW's performance aspirations for 15 years, from 1974 to 1989. This one, the last generation, got the hottest of all by adding a head with four valves per cylinder. The 1.8-liter DOHC engine cranked out "an amazing" 123 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, and made this model the fastest VW to ever be sold in America; it went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, faster than a Porsche 944. To compare vintage apples to modern ones, the New Scirocco with a 123-hp 1.4-liter TSI engine and a manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds. We like MotorWeek's Retro Review series not only for the cars, but for how they also remind us of what we used to find important in cars. The Scirocco here gets upvoted for its throttle response and handling, downvoted for an oddly placed oil pressure gauge and lack of battery voltage meter. We can't remember the last time a voltage meter was mentioned in a review, either its presence or lack. Check out the video above for what the definition of "US hot hatch" used to be.
