2011 Volkswagen Golf Tdi Hatchback 4-door, Malone Tune Pd Exhaust Ecs Suspension on 2040-cars
Rockford, Michigan, United States

2011 VW Golf TDI 4dr 6sp MT Tornado Red price is set at market value for the base car plus half of the parts only cost. If you want the fastest TDI out there with better handling than a GTI, this is it. 60+ MPG Highway, 40+ around town. I have several cars, and this has been one of my favorites: unstoppable torque, great handling, and the best gas mileage of anything I have ever owned. But its time to make room. There isn’t anything I would change about this car. You can spend $ 35k+ to build your own, or take this one home for a lot less. The new common rail 2.0 is a great engine, but the stock intake and exhaust chokes these vehicles robbing them of power and efficiency. So the week after I took delivery of it, I worked with Performance Diesel and Malone tuning to install the best breathing and best programmed system available. Malone’s website lists 184 bhp and 333 lb-ft torque, and I don’t doubt it for a second. In fact, the numbers for this car are probably better because of the custom stainless exhaust. The fuel economy is better than stock by over 20% city and highway. The sound is perfect. Not loud, but throaty when full throttle. And you can hear the turbo whistle a little at idle. Its been a great daily driver and family trip car, no complaints whatsoever. The tucked away hitch works great for a bicycle rack. The other great thing about this car is the suspension and handling. It has a full KWV2 coil-over and sway bar setup from ECS Tuning, so it handles better than any GTI could ever dream of – and gets 2X the gas mileage. The height shown in the pictures is at the lowest setting possible, it can be adjusted about 3” higher if you want, and the shocks are adjustable too. I have like new Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice snow tires mounted on 16” black steelies if you want them for $ 450. All stock parts are included if you want to return the car to its original configuration. Waxed and in a heated garage with owners manual, service history, both keys, etc. Clear title. Dealer serviced with synthetic oil only, suspension adjustment and alignment by independent VW shop. Standard factory items: Satellite radio, Bluetooth, heated seats, sunroof, rubber TDI mats, etc. Additions

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept still makes us swoon
Fri, Nov 21 2014We know, we know – this hot little guy isn't really new or anything. Volkswagen first rolled out the Golf R 400 concept in Beijing earlier this year, and since its debut, we've heard rumors that the German automaker might-perhaps-maybe-hopefully build the thing. Its showing here in Los Angeles simply marks the first time it's debuting in America, and honestly, we can't get enough. So here it is, again. Hello, Golf R 400 – we love you. And what's not to love? What starts as a normal Golf R gets better with a more aggressive appearance, big wheels, some tasteful neon yellow accents, and a whole mess of power. The original concept packed 395 horsepower from an overblown 2.0-liter turbo-four, though the most recent reports suggest a production version could produce over 400 hp. To keep it all in line, the concept has all-wheel drive. And inside, it's the same functional, comfortable Golf we've always loved. There's nothing left to say, really. We love this car, and you should, too. Check it out in the gallery above.
