2003 Volkswagen Golf Gti Vr6 Hatchback 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
This 2003 GTI VR6 was special ordered and purchased new in December of 2002. I have been the only owner and the only driver. For 2003 the VR6 engine was re-engineered and the horsepower was increased from 180 HP to 201 HP. The manual transmission was also upgraded from a 5-speed to a 6-speed. So this car is very economical but also very powerful and responsive. It has all the options available that year: The Monsoon Sound System, heated leather seats, tilting and sliding moon roof, adjustable steering wheel, a/c, etc. It has always been garaged and meticulously maintained. The mileage is low because I drive a company car during the week. It has had two big 30,000 miles services (based on time, not mileage), and has always had synthetic oil changes every 3,000 miles. Recently one ignition coil went bad, so we replaced all six. It has never been in any accidents, not even a minor fender-bender, and has never been to a body shop (please see my complete list of all scratches and dents along with corresponding photos). If you have any questions, or if you'd like additional photos, please contact Peter Scott by email or at (415) 292-3623. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and has never had any service problems. There is a full-sized spare wheel and tire and the original factory jack. The Experian Auto Check Title Report is provided with this ad. Following here is a list of dings and scratches. Please see the corresponding labeled photos. There are small scratches on three of the four rims. There are “parking lot” scratches on the body-colored protective strips
of both doors. There are scratches on both bumpers. There are small scratches on both rear view mirrors. There are small scratches on the right rear area of the roof. There is a small scratch on the rear door. There is a small dent (hard to see in the photo) in the
right rear corner panel. The plastic hinge for the center console lid is broken. But the lid still snaps into place and holds
securely The retractable strings for the rear cargo cover are
missing. They are supposed to
automatically lift the cargo cover when the tail gate is opened. The front tires have a few thousand miles left on them and
the rear tires are almost new. There is one remote key/transponder and two valet keys. |

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
Skoda's next concept is a 300-mile electric SUV
Wed, Mar 29 2017If you thought Volkswagen wasn't serious about electric vehicles, think again. Its subsidiary Skoda will reveal an electric SUV concept called the Vision E at the Shanghai auto show in a few weeks. Not only is it the fourth all-electric concept shown by the VW group (following the I.D., I.D. Buzz, and Sedric), but it previews the electrified future of Skoda, which announced that it will have five pure EVs in its lineup by 2025. The Vision E is just as impressive as the company's electric ambitions, too. It boasts a roughly 310-mile range on a charge, and packs a motor that makes about 300 horsepower. The car will be capable of level 3 autonomy, which will allow it to operate autonomously on highways, in stop-and-go traffic, and to find parking spaces. Its top speed isn't amazing at around 111 mph, but it isn't a sports car. Rather, it's an "SUV coupe" similar to the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. As such it has a more sedan-like back. The styling is also unique with full-width headlights and foglights, and another lighting element that extends from the front fender down the doors. The only obviously Skoda styling cue is the bulge down the center of the hood. The Vision E is also similar to the X6 and GLC Coupe in other ways. Its specs are quite close to those crossovers, particularly the Mercedes. It's a few inches shorter than the GLC Coupe, but it's an inch wider. It also makes the same amount of horsepower as the entry-level X6 and outguns the Mercedes by an impressive 59 horsepower. Of course, these are figures currently only projected and hypothetical since the Vision E is a concept, but it helps us get an idea of what this vehicle is like. So far, Skoda has only released sketches of the concept. We'll have to wait until the Shanghai show to see the real thing. Related Video:
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.
