I am the first owner of this GTI. I purchased it at Palmetto 57 Volkswagen off of fl826 in Miami, FL. This car has had the oil changed every 5,000 miles, and serviced regularly. The engine has been properly broken in; the performance modifications were not installed until 6,116 miles. The initial 6,000 miles the car spent conservatively commuting 20 miles each way. After 6,116 miles, all performance upgrades were installed.

 

This car has never given me any problems; I have loved driving it every moment! I’m going to be sad to see it go, but I’m moving to New York City, and cannot have a car.  This car has been tastefully, and professionally tuned. I have only installed the best parts. All of the upgrades were installed, tuned, and maintained by Foreign Affairs Motorsport, located in Pompano Beach, FL. You can look up more information about them here: foreignaffairsmotorsports dot com - They have a phenomenal reputation, and they are family owned.

 

This is a non-smoker car, has never been in an accident, and has always been kept in a covered garage.

 

Modifications include:

 

2.0 TSI APR ECU STAGE 2 PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE

CARBONIO TSI COLD AIR INTAKE

USP 3 INCH STAINLESS STEEL 2.0 TUBRO FSI/TSI DOWNPIPE

AKRAPORVIC LINK PIPE VW SS

AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST SYSTEM STAINLESS STEEL WITH MUFFLERS (NO TIPS)

AKRAPOVIC TAIL PIPE SET TITANIUM 100MM

ST COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT VW

VMR WHEELS V710 19*8.5 5*112 57.1 ET45 MATTE BLACK

235/35ZR19 MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT

28MM FRONT SWAY BAR

24MM REAR SWAY BAR

 

HOTWIRED VALENTINE 1

 

BLACKED OUT FRONT TURN SIGNAL

BLACKED OUT LUG BOLTS

BLACKED OUT EMBLEMS ALL AROUND

 

Over $11,000 invested in this car!

 

So after all of these upgrades, how does it drive?

 

Light and super fast. According to APR, and Akrapovic, the numbers fall around 280-300hp and 300-320 torque. I have never dyno tested the car, but I do have access to one if you are interested. This car launches off the line with such aggression, the wheels cannot even grip the pavement. When cruising on the highway, and the rpm’s are around 3500-4000 and you lightly press the gas, the car wants to take off.  You will be thrown into your seat with a smile. The sway bars, coil-overs, and super sports greatly increase the grip, rigidity, and athleticism of this car. The Akrapovic exhaust is about as beautiful of a sound as you can imagine. From both inside and outside, the sound is such perfection; you’ll find you are driving with the windows down in the middle of summer just to hear it! Also, what most people who want to buy the exhaust and have not heard it in person, the exhaust has such a nice deep resonant presence at idle, that most people don’t expect to see a 4 cylinder pull up. The quality of the exhaust is astounding; Akrapovic is hands down, the best.

 

Best part about all of this… the car does not suffer significant mpg’s, and daily driving this car is perfect. The power doesn’t throw you into your seat until 3800rpms. Everything below is smooth, with wonderful road manners. Occasionally, there is some rubbing in the back. This only happens though if potholes/bumps are not negotiated properly, or you are carrying your girlfriend’s suitcase in the back.

 

Of course, if you are looking at this car, and have gotten this far into my description, you are probably aware of all of this. This is one of the best, pure GTI’s you are going to find. There isn’t a navigation system; the car has the original plaid seats, and a 6speed. The options are sparse, but the car is very light. This car has been done the right way.

 

Asking price is $29,500.

 

Let me know what you think, shoot me an email with any questions you have, and if you are really serious, send me an offer. If you’re in the Miami/Coral Gables/Midtown/Miami Beach Area, let me know, and you can come by and check it out!

 

Thanks for your interest!

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
