2002 VW JETTA WAGON 5 SPEED DIESEL, I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE AND NEVER BROKE DOWN. CAR HAS 199,034 MILES BUT FEELS LIKE A CAR WITH 50,000 MILES! THE ENGINE RUNS PERFECT, GEARBOX AND CLUTCH FUNCTION AND ENGAGE AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO ISSUES, STEERING IS TIGHT AND SUSPENSION GOOD, AC BLOWS COLD, CAR IS VERY COMFORTABLE AROUND TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW WITH NO VIBRATIONS OR NOISES. I DRIVE CAR PRETTY EASY WITH A MIX OF AROUND TOWN AND SOME HIGHWAY, AND TYPICALLY AVERAGE 45 MPG FOR MOST TANKS. THE WORST I EVER GOT WAS 43 MPG DOING 75MPH A/C GOING WITH 4 PEOPLE, 4 BIKES ON THE HITCH AND LUGGAGE IN THE BACK. BEST TANK WAS 46 NOT MUCH A/C USE AND AROUND TOWN STOP AND GO AND UNDER 60MPH DRIVING. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU DRIVE YOU SHOULD EXPECT 43-45MPG.THIS CAR HAS THE VERY DESIRABLE 5 SPEED GEARBOX THAT IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THE AUTOMATIC. PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS CAR I OWNED AN AUTOMATIC, AND THE BEST I COULD MANAGE WAS 39 MPG. UPON PURCHASE OF THIS CAR MY FIRST TANK WAS 6 MPG BETTTER! CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS AND RECEIPTS ALONG WITH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND 2 SETS OF ORIGINAL KEYS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO 20K AGO WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING WITH THESE CARS BETWEEN 150K AND 200K OR AROUND 10 YEARS OLD(HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY OTHER ONE). TIRES ARE BFG TOURING TA LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE AND ONE OF THE BEST TIRES MADE. TIRES HAVE 80% TREAD, ROTORS REPLACED 20K AGO, TIMING BELT REPLACED AT 172,000, ALTERNATOR AT 189,000, CLUTCH REPLACED IN 2009. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS ORIGINAL PAINT. CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND IT SHOWS, JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES! EVERYTHING WORKS ON THIS CAR AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. BEING A 12 YEAR OLD CAR THERE IS SOME WEAR AND TEAR TO BE EXPECTED. THERE IS A SMALL DENT ON THE REAR HATCH TO THE LEFT OF THE WIPER THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL RUST BUBBLE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE REAR WINDOW. THE DRIVER SEAT HAS SOME WEAR AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, BUT STILL VERY NICE. MORE PICS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. CAR HAS NO LEAKS OR UNUSUAL SMELLS, STAINS, RATTLES, ETC.. THE REASON I AM SELLING THE CAR IS MY FAMILY IS GROWING, AND WE NEED MORE ROOM FOR THE KIDS AND ALL THEIR STUFF. THE HITCH ON THE BACK WAS NEVER USED FOR TOWING, BUT WAS USED FOR OUR BIKE RACK. IT IS A CUSTOM MADE HITCH WITH A 2 1/2 RECEIVER AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY TRAILER WIRING. I CAN REMOVE HITCH IF BUYER DOESN'T WANT IT.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.

Giorgetto Giugiaro sells shares in legendary styling house to Audi

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Giorgetto Giugiaro undoubtedly stands among the great automotive designers of the 20th century, having penned the original Volkswagen Golf and Delorean DMC-12, among countless others. However, the great stylist is now longer an employee or even an owner of the company that bears his name. According to Automotive News, Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, sold their remaining 9.9 percent of Italdesign Giugiaro to Audi on Sunday, June 28, and the two resigned from the business the following day. The news about this just came out, though. The exact reason that the two men left the company hasn't been made entirely clear. According to Automotive News, a statement said that Giorgetto Giugiaro went "to dedicate more time to his personal interests." Italdesign Giugiaro remains open and intends to keep growing, though, the same announcement asserts. After stints at Bertone and Ghia, Giugiaro founded Italdesign in 1968. He created some masterpieces there, including '70s wedges like Maserati Merak, Lotus Esprit, and much more. The 2000s weren't so kind and 90.1 percent of the company was sold to Volkswagen Group in 2010. Former Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger took over styling duties there in late 2013, but he only lasted for about a year, leaving in late 2014. Since the sale, Italdesign has continued to work, including with the Gea concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and the very mean-looking Parcour in 2013. Giugiaro's designs are still highly prized, as well. On September 5, Bonhams is auctioning the Maserati Boomerang concept by him and expects to get around $4 million for it. The gallery above offers a few more examples of his and Italdesign's concepts for VW Group over the years.

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
