Nothing says engineering prowess like a trebuchet. King of battlefield artillery for 300 years!

[RANDY P]

Those rock!...

[HardDrive]

LMAO!!!!!!! Instant classics.

"Ya, VW holding down da engineer house, ya"

Hilarous and tearing the tuners to shreds.

If VW could actually build a decent car in stock form, I wouldn't have a job.

Fortunately they can't, so I do.

But you just couldn't avoid ricing it up for the baggy pants crowd? I used to love VWs. My first car was a Scirocco, then a boring 8V GTI, then one of the early VR6 Golfs. What the hell has happened to VWs? Now it's all body kits and silly wheels.

I dunno about the MkV, at a porky 3300 pounds it's not light, even running on 225's and 200Hp on tap, I can't see how it's any better than what they had other than styling.

That's what the market is for VW, 16-30 year olds who want as much bling as they do performance. The upwardly mobile of this demographic buy an Audi.

Just like every other auto manufacturer, VW increases the horsepower to help offset the extra weight that is in each corresponding chassis.

I agree, the Mk1 cars were/are great. I had a Mk1 Jetta GLI that was down to 2,000 lbs and had the 4K close-ratio trans with short ring & pinion with 160 bhp on tap from a high-compression 2.0L 8V way back in the late '80's. That was a fun ride, long before the heavy VR6 and sublime 1.8T came along.

I actually like the look of the A5 GTI, but there is no way I would spend money to buy one. I want a car that will last at least 10 years and 100k+ miles. The new VWs can't do that. As soon as my last GTI hit 5 years, it was no longer reliable. At 8 years I couldn't afford to keep it on the road and it had more rust then my '70 914 (with lots of rust).

I'd buy an A1 GTI long before I buy a new one again. I find it funny that I see more A2 cars on the road than A3s.

Me too. Just try to find a nice not rusty, not molested one. I've been keeping an eye out for years. Future collector car potential. Built 10s of thousands but only a few remain...

Awesome ads...very cool spoofin' y'all

my daily driover is a 96..has a bit over 436k miles on it, been bulletproof. my wife and i are looking at buying a new gti. we bought a 95 gti vr6 when they first came out and it was awesome...175k miles with no problems at all..till it got mangled by a truck, hatch rtusted though(they covered it under warranty)
