golf tdi replacement
hi, I am having my golf tdi being bought back in the next 3 weeks and am having trouble deciding on a replacement. I work from home so i don't need a daily driver but as a complement to my 68 911 i do need something practical. the big issue is that my garage is small so most SUVs and 4 doors don't fit. here is my list:
new honda fit 70's BMW 2002 80's porsche 944 CPO volvo s60 - may not fit in the garage TJ jeep wrangler 2 door all of these are sub- $20k any thoughts?

Honda Fit....cargo area is huge, reliability/resale is excellent.

I love the 2002 and regret selling my 944 but would not consider either of those "practical".
Not even in the same ballpark as a Jeep or Volvo, just IMHO. YMMV

why not keep the golf and let VW fix it, and pay you at the same time. We are doing that.

all good ideas, i chose the buyback because it is just too good of a deal to pass up. when i bought it gas was much higher and the resale of the TDI was much better. if i get it fixed i likely won't get what VW is offering, although it isn't likely to be much of a difference.

Love my Nissan Versa. Small, cheap, cheap to drive, plenty of trunk room for when I go fishing or to the shooting range.

our appointment is next month, they will give is $28.8k buy back or 7.7k, fix it and we keep it. It's just too good a car to get rid of it. Diesel is still cheaper than regular and it get super great MPG.

and then there is this, today coming back from some breakfast we saw a fairly new Miata and my wife asked about them. I have never been in one so have no idea. They seem to sell well so people like them, how are they for a 6' guy on a road trip, say up the 5 from LA to SanFran or up to Seattle? This would be my wife's car.

Hmm, all good ideas. I know there are boring cars that make the most sense, but they are boring. As for a used 944, 2002, classic SUV I guess if the right condition and price comes along? I really have no problem with the golf this but I'm getting $24k for a 4 year old car that cost me $28k. I think it would be foolish not to take it.
