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.

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller
Sat, Sep 26 2015Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
VW TDI ads star four 'salty' ladies and a stinky dog named Tuna
Sun, Mar 22 2015The Kim Kardashian sex tape just keeps on giving: it brought the Three Golden Sisters to our attention, and now Volkswagen has used their comedic, Bronx grandmother schtick to promote its TDI engines. The ads are another round in the fight against the malicious perceptions of diesel – like how they're slow and loud (they aren't), that it's hard to find a station to refill (it isn't), and that they stink (they don't). Tanner Foust makes an appearance in one spot to dispel the notion of sluggishness, and Tuna the Dastardly Dog proves that she (or he?) can outstink a diesel any day. You'll find Tuna in the ad above, the other three ads are below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?
Wed, Apr 1 2015There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte
