Mine is a outstanding example of the rare and very desirable 2005 VW Passat GLS TDI Wagon. Anyone who is familiar with this car, or has researched it, knows that it has all the advantages of a sleek wagon - power, speed, comfort, passenger and cargo roominess - combined with the stability and reliability of a truck. It easily gets 38 miles to the gallon on the HWY and sometimes as much as 45-48 MPGs. 100,000 miles on this car is the beginning of its capacity if its looked after well, as this has been. This car has has been attended to throughout its life, with exacting service, immediate repairs to any worn out parts, and all the correct fuels and synthetic oils. It has never been in any kind of accident or fence bender; tires have been rotated and changed regularly. The car has been driven regularly, occasionally on a long road trip, where it has always excelled. It's a diesel, so it idles slightly noisily with a small vibration that is entirely normal for this vehicle. Once you get the RPMs up and begin cruising the engine settles into a low and quiet hum. Because of the high torque to HP ratio, the car gives plenty of power, even fully loaded going uphill at speed. This is the kind of car that inspires real car love, with admiration for the craft of engineering and the pedigree of a brand like VW. Not all VWs are created equal, of course. Some that are made in Mexico or the US are inferior to German made VWs when it comes to reliability and longevity. This Passat TDI is a completely German made vehicle, on a rock solid chassis, with an engine the Germans have perfected. My car is the top of the line version of what I consider the best body style in history for Passat Wagons. I bought it in 2007 with approx. 18,000 miles on it. I live in California where they were never sold, and after researching widely, I bought my car at above market price - $32K- from a specialist in Texas, flew to pick it up, had it fully checked out and cleared at the main VW dealer In Lubbock, and then drove it home to Los Angeles. They only sold this car in the US in 2004 and 2005 so they are hard to find, especially in good condition. I am selling because I recently bought a 2014 Subaru Outback for my family, and don't have room or desire to park both. I give this VW up reluctantly. So what will you see if you're looking at my car. It's in very good condition. On the exterior, it has the very nice VW factory applied double thin white line on both sides to accent the gray metallic paint, with factory standard silver metal door protectors, wing mirror blinkers, daytime running lights and fog lamps, automatic moonroof, and mast antenna. There are 3-4 minor scratches (cosmetic and not easily visible), but they are real enough that I have not attempted to buff them out. To get rid of them would require re-painting properly and it is unnecessary. The front and rear bumpers had enough scuffs and bumps from LA drivers parking a little too carelessly that I went ahead and had both bumpers re-painted expertly, with the correct factory paint so that a buyer gets a nice looking clean start. They are perfect. The engine has been fully serviced in December 2013, has been driven only a few miles since then, and is ready to go in excellent condition. Front and rear all season tires are practically new. There is a spare in the rear. Front and rear 17" alloy wheels complete the exterior package. Two of the wheels have some minor scratches on them, again cosmetic. In the interior, you will see the fully optioned GLS package with the leather and wood grain package. This includes heated seats, heated washer, dark gray leather seat upholstery with additional vinyl; Leather covered multi-function steering wheel; Remote audio controls; Luxury trim wood/woodgrain on gear knob, wood/woodgrain on doors and wood/woodgrain on dashboard; Leather hand brake grip. The car has an in-dash CD and cassette player with the optional 8-speaker Monsoon stereo. The car is set up for a 6-CD loader option in the rear compartment but I never installed the option. 12V outlets are in front, passenger and cargo compartments. In summary, this is a car that dealers and even casual motor enthusiasts always get excited about. All the service guys at our VW dealer in Santa Monica love this car. They call it 'the tank', because it is super solid, heavy metal throughout, built old style German with none of the fragile plastics used in the new VWs. This model inspires admiration from anyone who knows about cars. We are frequently approached and asked about the car or given the thumbs up by passersby who know, so be prepared to chat with the occasional enthusiastic stranger. Please bid within your comfort zone. I would like a clean transaction and a good new home for a car that has been nothing but outstanding.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 will come to US

Wed, Apr 1 2015

If you're like us, and have been drooling over the Volkswagen Golf R 400 concept since it was first unveiled in Beijing last year, we've got some potentially good news for you. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, member of the board of management responsible for development at Volkswagen, told Autoblog that the Golf R 400 will definitely come to the US... if it gets the production green light, anyway. Neusser says that the US market has had a hugely positive reaction to the seventh-generation Golf family. The new hatch won both Motor Trend Car of the Year and North American Car of the Year, and Volkswagen has expanded the Golf range to include a bunch of new variants, including the electric e-Golf and recently released SportWagen. The Golf R 400 would "fit very well into this strategy," says Neusser. The hotter Golfs have been successful, too. When Volkswagen opened the order books for the 2015 Golf R, the yearly allocation for the US sold out in just 11 hours. Neusser says the R 400 will "show how sporty the Golf family can be." We're certainly in favor of this hottest hatch hitting our market. All we need now, is for Volkswagen to officially give it the go-ahead.
