This has been my daily driver for the past five years and as such will show it's 11 years and 170k miles on it. With that said though, I take very good care of my cars and this one has not been an exception. When I originally purchased it I swapped out just about everything that was rubber or rotated and then started adding on the power and handling mods. The car plus mod list easily went over $20k and was worth every penny of it. With the proper tires on it (not LRR) it can almost hang with a Mini Cooper S on the track (~3sec / lap slower at H2R). Yet when you leave it on the street it can still pull out 800 miles per tank of fuel and I regularly get 55-58mpg driving to work with the cruise set to 65mph. It averages 50mpg per tank as long as you drive nicely, yet you don't have to hyper-mile or do anything other than set the cruise to the speed limit.
The 2003 is also the last year of the old 2 door TDI cars, yet the first year of the power windows and locks on them. It took me almost a year to find this car back when I got it due to the fact I wanted a 2 door car with power windows. Just not that many of them out there. If you are looking for a boring stock TDI this is not the car for you. Please read up on the mods before even thinking of purchasing. I haven't done anything radical to it that would affect its drive-ability, but please don't expect to buy it for KBB or what you found on craigslist for a jacked up 300k mile 4 door beater with a salvaged title... But, it also is not a show car and does need a few things if you want it to look and drive like new. Headliner and door cards are starting to bubble from the heat and glue taking their toll on the foam padding. Airbag light recently came on and is not turning off, in the past it has had a slight grind when shifting from 1st to 2nd at the higher end of the rpm range. Paint is peeling off of one hubcap. Quite a few rock chips and dings all visible in the photos. I'm quite honest with condition of items, so if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. Leave your number in a message to me and I will give you a call to go over everything that I have ran across in the past five years. Not that it matters, but I am only getting rid of the car for something a bit larger and more comfortable. I do have the car listed in other places and reserve the right to pull the ad at any time should it sell. On to the parts list; The below items are just off my spreadsheet of parts/prices, but they do show probably 95% of what has been done to the car and everything is currently installed.

Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line
Tue, Sep 12 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned — forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first — but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.
Volkswagen hits Gran Turismo with GTI Supersport concept [w/video]
Tue, Apr 14 2015As impressive as are the production hot hatches that Volkswagen offers based on the Golf, the German automaker cooks up even more impressive conceptual versions. Like this latest design for Gran Turismo 6. The GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo is like the GTI you can pick up at your local VW dealer, only more so. The design brings the VR6 back to the GTI, this time packing a (hypothetical) 503 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque, channeled to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion all-wheel drive. In the virtual reality of GT6, that's said to be enough to propel this digital concept to 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 186 mph. Naturally VW's designers gave the GTI Supersport concept the show to accompany the go, gracing the shape with more vents, more extreme aero, a wider stance on 20-inch wheels... the works. All that is said to give it a lower center of gravity and a power-to-weight ratio of 5.5 pounds per horsepower. Of course the GTI Supersport isn't the first hot Golf concept VW has dreamt up in recent years. There was the earlier GTI Roadster concept also revealed for the Vision Gran Turismo series, the Golf R 400 concept that may yet see production, and the bonkers GTI W12 650 concept with its mid-mounted twelve-cylinder engine. This one may never see production, but at least gamers will be able to drive it remotely on PlayStation. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Wolfsburg, 14 April 2015 Next level: Volkswagen presents new digital supercar - GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo excites PlayStation fans - Race car with 503 HP now available for downloading Volkswagen is expanding its GTI fleet and sending a new supercar onto the digital race circuit. The engine roaring under the bonnet of the GTI Supersport is a 503 HP VR6 TSI coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). The design of this digital supercar combines the Volkswagen icon with sheer racing design. Following last year's roadster, another version of the GTI, with its long racing tradition, can now head for the starting line on Gran Turismo®6, exclusively on PlayStation®3. The first impression of this racer already shows that the Supersport is what fans want and is designed for racing. 665 Nm of torque catapult the virtual GTI to 100 kilometers per hour from a standing start in only 3.6 seconds.
