2003 Volkswagen Golf Gti Vr6 Hatchback 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
This 2003 GTI VR6 was special ordered and purchased new in December of 2002. I have been the only owner and the only driver. For 2003 the VR6 engine was re-engineered and the horsepower was increased from 180 HP to 201 HP. The manual transmission was also upgraded from a 5-speed to a 6-speed. So this car is very economical but also very powerful and responsive. It has all the options available that year: The Monsoon Sound System, heated leather seats, tilting and sliding moon roof, adjustable steering wheel, a/c, etc. It has always been garaged and meticulously maintained. The mileage is low because I drive a company car during the week. It has had two big 30,000 miles services (based on time, not mileage), and has always had synthetic oil changes every 3,000 miles. Recently one ignition coil went bad, so we replaced all six. It has never been in any accidents, not even a minor fender-bender, and has never been to a body shop (please see my complete list of all scratches and dents along with corresponding photos). If you have any questions, or if you'd like additional photos, please contact Peter Scott by email or at (415) 292-3623. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and has never had any service problems. There is a full-sized spare wheel and tire and the original factory jack. The Experian Auto Check Title Report is provided with this ad. Following here is a list of dings and scratches. Please see the corresponding labeled photos. There are small scratches on three of the four rims. There are “parking lot” scratches on the body-colored protective strips
of both doors. There are scratches on both bumpers. There are small scratches on both rear view mirrors. There are small scratches on the right rear area of the roof. There is a small scratch on the rear door. There is a small dent (hard to see in the photo) in the
right rear corner panel. The plastic hinge for the center console lid is broken. But the lid still snaps into place and holds
securely The retractable strings for the rear cargo cover are
missing. They are supposed to
automatically lift the cargo cover when the tail gate is opened. The front tires have a few thousand miles left on them and
the rear tires are almost new. There is one remote key/transponder and two valet keys. |

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
