Favorite VW?

[endlesskev86]

Jetta with a Oetinger bodykit...dr00l~~

Scirocco, obviously...

Even if my Rocco is equipped with "only" 75 hp, it actually offers a lot of fun on the road, and the handling is very good - a friend of mine is owning a Mazda RX-7 (older model, don't ask me when it was built), and although his vehicle is almost twice as powerful as my Rocco, he do have a hard time making me disappear from his rearview mirror as long as the streets are curvy (if my Rocco had the same power, it's bye-bye Mazda...). And, I'm (or better said the car is ) still earning admiring looks when I'm rolling through the town...a definitive classic.

The R32...now, I'm a little bit divided about this car. The exhaust sound is nice and mean, the look is mean, too, and the car can go fast...but 1500 kgs? The first GTI weighed about 810 kgs, and if you could implant the R32 drivetrain into the Golf I, it would drive around the R32 in circles. And the price sticker...uh-oh. Fot that money, I would rather buy a used Passat Variant VR6 synchro and transform it into a nice sleeper...and have still enough cash left for a monster stereo and two years of fuel, taxes and insurance.

An underrated classic...the K70. Not only that it's design was clear and sober (compared to it's rivals from Opel and Ford), it was the first watercooled FWD from VW in serial production, and it offered some intelligent ideas (for example, changing the clutch doesn't require to dismount the gear box). The clocks had a slight Porsche touch, and you could even order the Fuchs alloys with the K70LS model (1.8l/100 hp). Too bad that the way more sophisticated car never made it against the Dasher and the Audi 100, it shared the same fate of his "brother" NSU Ro80 (both were NSU constructions, but VW bought NSU in 1970).

I love my beetle and i wouldnt take any other car in the world. I hear people say that they are unreliable and I think they are full of crap. My beetle has only broke down 4 times in the past 2 weeks. Now thats what I call reliable and if you dont think so you better get your head examined. I love my beetle and everyone else should get a beetle of their own.

I love my current VW the most of any I have owned...Passat W8 Variant (wagon)...awesome beast - plenty roomy, very fast, AWD and excellent traction, brakes are awesome, and it loves high speeds!



Passats in general are my current favorites. I also like the new Touareg, especially in V10 Diesel X-package form! The R32 looks fun as well.

Historically, the Karmann Ghia probably ranks up on the all-time list, followed by fastbacks, 3-door squarebacks, 21-window busses, Sciroccos, Corrados, and the original Bug.

I voted for "Other" simply cause I love the Rabbit/Golf 1 chassis. I'm not a big fan of the GTIs simply because you see more of them and the owners are typically dicks (at least in my town). I love the clean body lines and the chassis stiffness. I've owned a good 5 or 6 A1 chassis as well as a couple Corrado (A2 chassis) and I can honestly say the A1 is my favorite.
Here are some pics of my old Rabbits/Cabbys and one of my old Corrado...

I love my A3 Jetta GLX. I swear by VW in general, but I love that car to death. Its quick, responsive, comfortable, with all the right options and...yeah. I can't say enough about it. I haven't even really done much to mine yet (though I have some of the most grandiose plans ). Nice lines, like the man said, elegant, but will definatly still get up and go. Mustangs for lunch (I know, that's not saying much, but I've really only gotten stomped a few times racing, and it was by modded cars and I'm still mostly factory).

They just keep on running forever. I've had no major problems with my 95. If you just keep it up, take care of her regularly, they'll run forever.

I once submerged my 87 GTI 3 inches up the doors trying to cross a flodded road to pickup my little brother. Hit the water, all the dash and warning lights came on, then went out, but the engine kept on running, plugged away till I got through. Drove about another 2 minutes till the water ran out, and everything was back to normal. I swear, they're invincible.

Get whatever you like man. You can mod out anything to suit your taste, just as long as you like the base you're starting with.
