Non-Smokers car it's whole life!!!! They had the car since new, it was shipped over from Germany where it was built to their order, and sold in Canada. Car has been in Nova Scotia and Ontario (mainly), it's whole life. We used this car everyday for 1.5 years until this past fall. Tons of safety features, great crash rating, and built better than it's North America equivalents (the Big 3). Engine is turbocharged, and has lots of pep. Second set of rims (steel) with proper size winter tires (Michelin X-ice) and OEM VW Hubcaps. Should get 2-3 seasons out of the winters, see driving habits below. Nose cone bra included in sale. Rear seats are a near flat fold down style and have a 60/40 split. You can fit bicycles inside, car carrier on the roof (longitudinal bars are there from the factory), and there are even tie down loops at the four corners of the trunk compartment. Full size spare that matches the tire brand/variety installed currently. All Season tires (Michelin MXV4 195/60-R15) should have 1-2 seasons of driving short commute. I do not wear out tires much the way the car is driven, your usage may shorten the remaining life. Trunk does come with a privacy pull across/removable sun shade. Hides valuables, provides a fun spot to insert Comic character stuffed animals like Sid the Sloth. Great handling, original OEM Volkswagen suspension parts are on the vehicle. New axle boot installed last year, OEM axle retained! Timing belt was changed per OEM service intervals, as were all other maintenance related items. AC never worked when I owned the car, suspect a leak in the evaporator core per Volkswagen diagnosis before car was purchased. Car driven with no AC while we owned it. Heat is great, and all settings work. Turn signal switch or Hazard switch may be faulty, recall was done for the Hazard switch and new turn signal switch was installed previously to cure random ticking from the Hazard switch. No problem for turn signal function, just a ticking sound. Very common problem from what I researched before purchase. I decided to live with it. Dealer said ballpark $120 in parts for a signal switch. Shifter isn't as smooth into 2nd and 3rd, never had it looked at. Interior is very clean, usual wear on interior door handles (grey comes off and black base material can be seen), seats and carpet in great shape. Steam cleaned entire interior this fall, car has not been driven this winter except to clean off the brake rotors and keep the battery charged up. Small spots of surface rust here and there, much less than many cars this age, and one spot under a side moulding trim. Front glass is in great shape, and has been Aquapel treated or something similar as water beads right off while you are driving in the rain. 1 washer nozzle for the front windshield is loose, may need a replacement to clip back in place, operates fine the way it is now. Oil always changed with Synthetic to meet Volkswagen oil specs. These motors run fine with proper oil maintenance. Little things that are wrong with the car, I have two more cars that need attention including a car that I just rebuilt to drive this upcoming summer; Volks must go! I have 3 cars now, and the Passat is sitting in a parking spot that I now pay to rent. This is the nicest handling car I have ever owned, it drives very well. Fuel economy very good, much better than a V6 model. Got mid to high, 30+ MPG on the highway. Vehicle is AS IS, WHERE IS, be aware of this. Safety inspection, Emissions if you are required to have this for your area, are not part of this sale. Vehicle should not need much to pass Ontario Safety (if anything), no CEL/Check engine lights and passed E-test with near perfect score (closest to zero values you could get). Car drives very well, no abnormal noises/sounds that I can detect. Will be there to help shipping company/hauler, if you are having the car shipped to your location (shipped at buyers expense!) MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. TOO DARK WHEN POSTING AD TO GET PROPER PICTURES. PICS IN ADVERTISEMENT ARE FROM SUMMER 2013. RESERVE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY IF VEHICLE SELLS LOCALLY.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises
Fri, Dec 29 2017It's that time of year again. The calendar is about to reach its end, Star Trek Cats 2018 is about to take its place, and I'm reflecting about all the cars that graced my driveway this year or summoned me to exotic places. You know, like Stuttgart or Phoenix. In 2017, I drove at least 57, and as I perused the list of them, I started to notice a common refrain: "This car surprised me." Most were pleasant surprises, but there were a few head scratchers and facepalms for good measure. In both cases, it was generally the result of car companies seemingly trying to break out of an existing mold. Nowhere was that more apparent than the pair of Lexuses slathered in Infrared paint: The LS 500 that left me this week and the LC 500 that was my favorite car of 2017. Though Lexus has been trying to shake its crusty, gold-packaged reputation for some time now, its efforts always seemed like an old man choosing Hollister to redo his wardrobe after realizing it hasn't been updated since 1987. I fell in love with the LC, genuinely floored by its near-perfect take on the GT. It's characterful in sound, appearance and tactility. It was at home in the city, in the mountain and on the open road. It was both comfortable and thrilling, and after driving the mechanically related LS 500, I can report that the LC's talents aren't an outlier. The LS 500's turbo V6 may make different noises than the LC's naturally aspirated V8, but it nevertheless invigorates the cabin when the car is placed in Sport+ mode. The steering is truly communicative, body motions are kept in miraculous check, and I absolutely forgot I was in an enormous luxury limo ... and a Lexus one at that. It was everything that the BMW 530e was not. I drove that on the exact same roads and was utterly bored the entire time. Generally doughy, lifeless steering, more distant than Planet 9. And no, the plug-in hybrid powertrain had nothing to do with that. At least it shouldn't. The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid I also drove this year proves that, as do the Hyundai Ioniqs, which are surprisingly adept and fun little cars regardless of what powers their wheels (Hyundai + hybrid = fun really blew me away). I would drive that Lexus LS F Sport over the BMW 5 Series any day of the week, which seems like a shocking thing to say in relation to either car. While Lexus is seemingly breaking out of its old crusty mold, BMW seems to be climbing into one.
