Hello, I have a very nice 2006 VW convertible for sale. The car has been babyed and only driven in warm weather and garaged the rest of the time. We have decided to sell it as we hardly ever drive it and it needs to be driven . Its such a cool fun car. My wife and I bought this in 2010 from a woman in Albuquerque NM and I drove it back to CO. The day I picked it up I had not really had any experience with this type of car but I can assure you when I drove back the 700mi to my home I learned a ton and I was very impressed overall. This thing will fly right along and has the wide profile tires and rims and will corner surprisingly well. I had a couple of old vws in the day but believe me this aint your grandmas vw. Since we have owned it we have taken very good care of it and have done all the required maintenance at the dealer near us. I have replace the driver side window regulator, has a brand new battery and the tires still have good tread on them. The car runs great and all the electronics work as they should. This bug has an amazing sound system with speakers on the dash, in the doors and in the back seat area. Its called Monsoon and is a very high quality system. If your not aware it also has the sport shifting system which lets you shift this like a standard type transmission so if you are in the mountains you can down shift and save the wear and tear on the brakes. Its really a cool feature in mountain or street driving and works well. The other item that blows me away is the color of this particular car . Apparently vw used many shades of blue for this vehicle but I believe mine is the best of them all . It has a slight metalflake look to it and is exquisite when you look close at it . I looked hard to find the convertible with the right look and this has the right look with dark blue and tan . The tan also is cooler than black in the sun . The tan roof shows more than the black roof but it shows way classier I think. Never had heated seats and that is another great feature. The outside mirrors have lights in them for the turn signals also very cool. This car is just cool and fun and gives very good fuel economy. If someone were to buy this and take care of it I can see this becoming a classic down the road. It just has a vibe. Please email with any questions and Ill try to get back quickly. We hope this goes to someone who really appreciates the car and I look forward to that person driving away into the sun with a big grin on their face and the wind in their hair. Thanks

Tesla tires turning on Stretchla Vanagon EV conversion project
Tue, Jan 7 2014It is one thing to say you are going to Frankenstein a Tesla Model S with a pair of Siamese-twinned Volkswagen Vanagons and quite another to actually start taking your newly-acquired, smashed-up electric sedan apart in an effort to bring it back to life. Otmar Ebenhoech is doing just that, and having no small successes along the way. The Stretchla project, as it is being called, has officially started and our protagonist has put together another bit of video to document his progress and let us know about some of the different challenges he's encountered and conquered. While our original post about this endeavor featured video of the stretched Vanagon's drivetrain removal, this latest installment focuses on the Model S. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition. Otmar received the Tesla in less-than-operable condition and has been tackling some of the basic problems one might expect to encounter: lots of error messages and an electrically disconnected battery pack. Without the aid of a manual or technical diagrams, he's removed the battery pack and discovered why it wasn't sending power to the car. Scroll below to watch the ten-minute presentation and celebrate some initial victories. You can also check out the official Stretchla blog for more photos and updates, including the most recent one that discusses how he talked himself into paying (*spoiler alert) $42,000 for a wrecked, non-functional electric car, along with more recent struggles with the steering rack. Hit us up in the comments to let us know what kind of trouble you would get into with a Model S drivetrain of your own. This content is hosted by a third party.

Dyno run hints VW GTI power might be significantly underrated
Wed, Feb 4 2015Are you one of the lucky owners of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI? If yes, you should be happy, because your 210- or 220-horsepower hot hatchback might actually have more like 260 ponies under its hood. That's according to a dyno test from a vendor on, of all places, a Ford Focus ST enthusiast forum. The company is estimating a 15-percent drivetrain loss with the GTI's best result a whopping 263 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque at the crank. That's a tremendous difference from the 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque that Volkswagen claims. Of course, this is merely one dyno session on one car. We'll have to wait until more 2015 GTI owners get on the rolling road to see if Volkswagen really was as conservative about its hot hatch's output as FocusST.org claims.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries
Mon, Dec 8 2014VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.
