Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The car has a CEL with code P2015, due to the variable flap in the manifold. The car is not displaying any symptoms (lower fuel economy, reduced performance, rough cold idle), its just the CEL. I have ordered the new part and will replace it prior to sale."

I've decided to list my 2009 GTI for sale, its an awesome little car, but I've discovered I really don't like making a car payment, and think I'm going to go back to an older BMW. I believe I am the third owner. The first owner leased the car, and the second bought it for his daughter who drove it for a couple years before shipping off to college.

The car is in great shape mechanically and cosmetically, with 62,xxx miles on it. The mileage will go up slightly as I'm still commuting ~30 miles/day in it. Its United Gray over the Plaid cloth, optioned with the DSG, Sunroof, Heated Seats, 18" Huff Wheels, and Premium sound. The only options it doesn't have are Leather and Navigation. The 2009 cars are a bit of an oddball, with the MKV body and interior, but the updated TSI motor currently sold in the MKVIs. The biggest issue cosmetic issue is 2 of the wheels have somewhat significant curbing.

Recent Maintenance:
-58,xxx miles
--New Tires/Alignment
--New Rear Pads/Rotors (fronts are still have 80%+)
--Seafoam Treatment in crank, fuel and intake
--Oil Change w/Factory Oil and Filter, ECS Magnetic Drain Plug
--New Air Filter
--New Cabin Air Filter
--New Spark Plugs

The DSG Mechatronics unit was recalled at 14k miles and was replaced at a VW dealership. They gave it a transferrable, extended warranty until 2019 or 100k miles, so you don't have to worry about one of the biggest concerns with buying a DSG car. Interestingly enough the 3rd taillight has the same extended warranty, not sure why they needed to recall that...

The car also received a full paint correction around 58k. The factory iPod Dock fried itself a couple weeks after I bought the car, so I replaced it with a simple Grom Audio unit.

It will also come with a set of Monster mats that have been used for less than 1000 miles, a heavy duty cargo liner, a set of paddle shifter extenders that didn't work for me and my long fingers, and a vial of factory touch up paint.

The car is completely 100% stock, save for a few software mods using VCDS (factory Volkswagen Diagnostic Software). I turned on the Emergency Flasher function that flashes the hazards when you activate the ABS, the remote windows down/up feature, and made a long press of the trunk button release the hatch.

In the interest of full disclosure, the car currently has a CEL with the dreaded code P2015 which is due to the electronically controlled flap in the intake manifold. The car is not displaying any of the symptoms of the flap actually malfunctioning (lower fuel economy, reduce performance, rough cold idle), its just the CEL currently.

I have the replacement part on order and will be installing it this week, however, if someone would like to install it themselves, we can work that into our price. With the manifold replaced, my asking price is $15,500 OBO. This is an extremely nice, well optioned, completely stock and unmolested, well maintained example of a GTI.

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 7 2016

Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally

Tue, May 19 2015

Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
