Used Volkswagen Golf GTI for Sale

I am an avid VW fan, this is the second GTI I have owned, and the 5th Golf/Rabbit incarnation I have owned. I especially like the interior build quality of this vehicle, it stands out in comparison to some of the previous vehicles I have owned. The interior is in amazing shape for a car that is 11 years old, and there is a quiet ride as far as squeaks or rattles go, and the leather seats have held up remarkably well also. This car is fully loaded with the exception of the OnStar system, which I don't think would suit me very well personally - not that there is actually anything wrong with the system itself. The VR6 is incredible! For the level of performance that the VR^ offers, there is a surprising level of fuel economy. The high cost of turbo repair/replacement is certainly a consideration, one that I feel is often overlooked. I will admit that the gear ratio in the 6 speed manual transmission lends itself to an awful lot of shifting, I find myself skipping gears on a regular basis, as it is simply easier in traffic. Over all, I would recommend this car to anybody, and if forced to be in a position to purchase another vehicle - I would definitely start my search with another GTI. I love this car, it is incredibly fun to drive, every single time!

I bought this car used. I had done a lot of research before buying the car, and over all I am happy with my choice. I chose The VW JETTA TDI. I specifically wanted the TDI for the diesel economy. I do get close to 50 miles to the gallon, and that makes a huge difference since I put close to 25000 miles a year on it. However, beyond the , mileage What I was looking for was the durability of a diesel engine. Diesel engines are designed to last for 500,000 miles or more, where as a gas engine is designed to last about 200,000 miles. However, no matter how long the engine lasts, there are other things that go wrong with a car, and I would say that my VW has had more than its share of "minor" problems. Then to aggravate these minor problems VW has made some things much harder to fix than the average car. So when it does go wrong it costs more to fix.

The car had a few issues when I bought it due to the high mileage on the car (150,000 miles) but after maintenance its performance was great. I plan on running this car into the ground before buying a new one.
