| | | I have a very hard time buying that. Sorry. I know of at least 5 people in my surroundings (yes, I actually counted) with Golf City's, which have the same engine, and they all get what I was getting with mine. I know cause they always bitch about it, and they don't drive their cars hard... And we're talking 2008-2009 models too, so the running poor issue is thrown out. VW rates it at 8.4L/100KM so we know that's the absolute best conditions rating, and is garbage for its class. I reset the trip computer EVERY time I fuel up, it's a pet peeve I suppose, and I have never seen it go past 575km doing highway driving (was doing Kingston-Quebec on a regular basis last year, 550km trip). I get 800+ with my A4... I'm not bitching about the reliability, all that went bad on mine was the mass air flow and that stupid downpipe in 2 years time. I sold it to a friend of mine and still see the car daily, and I know it's looked after properly, but it does suck on gas.

QFT You might be able to find one around for relatively cheap too, because a lot of them have high milage. For my 2003 TDI Jetta Wagon apparently it's worth $6,000 US private sale. It was a few years ago that VW offered my dad $7,000 CDN for it. There's nothing mechanically wrong with the vehicle, and it runs great...it's just got 373,000 on it and has a bad case of road acne going on. You'd probably be able to find one for cheaper too if it was a base model (mine's got almost every option available). The entire reason I have that vehicle is actually because my dad wasn't going to get much for it. I don't really have any complaints about it at all... Oh...it burns through taillights faster than the average vehicle. But with all the money you'll be saving on gas, it won't make a difference
| I'm leery about buying a vehicle with over 150,000 on it - even if they do go forever I kind of want the vehicle for as long as possible.
