I have spent countless hours and a lot of money restoring this vehicle and getting it to the point where it is now.  It started out in life as a Rialta Motorhome. The Rialta is one of the most desired and sought-after motorhomes ever made; restored, a Rialta will go for over $20,000 today.  One of the main attributes of the Rialta is that it has a Volkswagen drivetrain--which means parts will always be readily available, and German engineering and reliability simply can't be beat.

The previous owner removed all of the old, out-dated, motorhome interior, plumbing, and wiring.  Since I've had it, I recarpeted the walls, put in a new ceiling, resealed the roof (including new vents and extra supports), and installed new window seals where needed.  I also stripped the floor, coated it completely with rust-proofing primer/sealer, and covered it with several layers of extremely durable, truck bed coating.  I haven't finished everything, but the vehicle is at a point now where you could install your new interior--whatever and however you'd like it to be.

If you're not looking to use it as a motorhome, this vehicle could certainly be used as a very roomy stand-up van or work truck just as it is now.  I'm about 5'10" and I can walk around comfortably inside this vehicle with no crouching at all.  It is so roomy inside that it almost seems like a studio apartment--so much bigger inside than a standard van or Eurovan (it's about 6' x 11' inside) .  As big as it is on the inside, the outside of it is just about small enough to fit in a standard parking space--which is a real plus!  From the outside, it is very inconspicuous--and it basically just looks like a wide, extended van and not an RV--that's one of the best aspects of this vehicle!  I had planned to do this as part of the restoration.  The vehicle currently DOES run and drive but I had planned to restore the engine along with everything else as well, if I was going to keep it.  I really wish I could keep this vehicle, and I originally bought it with the intention of turning it back into a customized motorhome and keeping it forever, but I ran out of money and need to sell it now to pay down some bills.  The windshield has a few bullseyes and cracks but the rest of the glass is in great shape.  The exhaust may need a small section repaired/replaced, and the A/C will need to be looked at too--it doesn't blow very cold, especially on very hot days.  The rear suspension creaks somewhat when backing out of the driveway etc., but I was told this may be normal.  There are some other minor issues that may need tending to as well--but then again, that is to be expected with an 18 year old vehicle.  In any event, I suggest (if you're interested in this vehicle), that you come by and check it out for yourself before bidding, but either way, happy bidding!

2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen First Drive [w/video]

Wed, Mar 25 2015

Volkswagen currently offers five Golf models in the US, and in just a few weeks it will add the 2015 SportWagen to the lineup. The previous version sold as the Jetta SportWagen, although it was technically a Golf. For the new model, VW product planners decided to align all the hatchbacks under the same name. The SportWagen employs the same engines as the Golf, but significantly stretches its new MQB architecture. The result is greater practicality in the form of cargo room. With the seats up the SportWagen holds 30.4 cubic feet, almost 8 more than the Golf. The gap widens to nearly 14 cu ft with the seats folded; a max capacity of 66.5 cu ft puts the SportWagen into compact crossover territory. That added functionality leads VW to think it can sway buyers shopping the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. And with the high-mpg diesel variant – 31 mpg city, up to 43 highway – VW hopes to lure those considering fuel-sipping MPVs like the Toyota Prius V and Ford C-MAX. What separates this Golf from those other two segments is the driving prowess we've come to expect from Wolfsburg's best-selling nameplate. While the silhouette is similar to the outgoing Jetta wagon, designers honed the character lines to give the Golf SportWagen a more modern, angular aesthetic. The LED headlights look sharp, the hood now scoops down at a steeper angle into the front fenders, and the general proportions – in line with other Golf models – have changed. The new SportWagen is lower, longer, and wider and than the Jetta SportWagen it replaces. Specifically, it is 1.1 inches longer, 0.7 inches wider, and despite being about an inch lower, actually boasts more headroom. Inside, things look pretty familiar to the current Golf family. There are small, premium touches such as a sporty, flat-ish-bottom wheel, piano-black trim, and an optional one-touch panoramic sunroof that makes the cabin a bright, airy, and pleasant place to be. Otherwise, it's your standard Golf fare, but with a whole lot more room out back. The same two engines that power the standard Golf – the 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-four TSI, and 2.0-liter turbocharged TDI diesel – are also found under the hood of the SportWagen. Gasoline-powered models come with a five-speed manual or a traditional six-speed auto, while the TDI gets six-speed transmissions across the board – either as a row-your-own manual, or a dual-clutch DSG auto with steering wheel-mounted paddles.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
