2013 Volkswagen Gti 2dr Black Pearl/plaid - 11,655 Miles! on 2040-cars

2013 Volkswagen GTI 2DR 11,655 Miles Deep Black Pearl Metallic/GTI Plaid 6speed Manual 2.0-liter
turbocharged inline-4 (GTI) WVWEV7AJ6DW121934 I am the
first owner of this GTI. I purchased it at Palmetto 57 Volkswagen off of fl826
in Miami, FL. This car has had the oil changed every 5,000 miles, and serviced
regularly. The engine has been properly broken in; the performance
modifications were not installed until 6,116 miles. The initial 6,000 miles the
car spent conservatively commuting 20 miles each way. After 6,116 miles, all
performance upgrades were installed. This car
has never given me any problems; I have loved driving it every moment! I’m
going to be sad to see it go, but I’m moving to New York City, and cannot have
a car. This car has been tastefully, and
professionally tuned. I have only installed the best parts. All of the upgrades
were installed, tuned, and maintained by Foreign Affairs Motorsport, located in
Pompano Beach, FL. You can look up more information about them here: foreignaffairsmotorsports dot com - They have a phenomenal reputation, and
they are family owned. This is a non-smoker car, has never been in
an accident, and has always been kept in a covered garage.

Over $11,000 invested in this car!
So after all of these upgrades, how does it
drive?
Light and super fast. According to APR, and
Akrapovic, the numbers fall around 280-300hp and 300-320 torque. I have never
dyno tested the car, but I do have access to one if you are interested. This
car launches off the line with such aggression, the wheels cannot even grip the
pavement. When cruising on the highway, and the rpm’s are around 3500-4000 and
you lightly press the gas, the car wants to take off. You will be thrown into your seat with a
smile. The sway bars, coil-overs, and super sports greatly increase the grip, rigidity,
and athleticism of this car. The Akrapovic exhaust is about as beautiful of a
sound as you can imagine. From both inside and outside, the sound is such
perfection; you’ll find you are driving with the windows down in the middle of
summer just to hear it! Also, what most people who want to buy the exhaust and
have not heard it in person, the exhaust has such a nice deep resonant presence
at idle, that most people don’t expect to see a 4 cylinder pull up. The quality
of the exhaust is astounding; Akrapovic is hands down, the best.
Best part about all of this… the car does not
suffer significant mpg’s, and daily driving this car is perfect. The power
doesn’t throw you into your seat until 3800rpms. Everything below is smooth,
with wonderful road manners. Occasionally, there is some rubbing in the back.
This only happens though if potholes/bumps are not negotiated properly, or you
are carrying your girlfriend’s suitcase in the back.
Of course, if you are looking at this car,
and have gotten this far into my description, you are probably aware of all of
this. This is one of the best, pure GTI’s you are going to find. There isn’t a
navigation system; the car has the original plaid seats, and a 6speed. The
options are sparse, but the car is very light. This car has been done the right
way.
Asking price is $29,500.
Let me know what you think, shoot me an email
with any questions you have, and if you are really serious, send me an offer.
If you’re in the Miami/Coral Gables/Midtown/Miami Beach Area, let me know, and
you can come by and check it out!
Thanks for your interest!

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.
