If you’re looking in that price range come see me and I’ll hook you up on a GTI or a GLI. 6 spd manual or DSG is the hardest decision you’ll have to make. DSG is cool because it comes with OEM launch control on the 2.0T’s. Plus the EDL lets you actually accelerate STRAIGHT where as most of the FWD cars you’ll drive will have serious torque steer. There, I said it. Come buy a VW :banana

The only thing more expensive with VW is the aftermarket because it doesn’t share the same support as some Japanese brands. Parts are currently slightly more expensive due largely in part to the current exchange rate. They are not overall any more expensive to maintain than any other new car. Keep in mind, I owned an 04 R32 where parts were harder to come by and didn’t have any worse a financial burden to repair it than when I owned either of my Evo’s. Just food for thought.

There is a dark red '07 GT (tasteful body kit, HUGE chrome wheels with sick fitment with “I BELIEVE” a full exhaust/intake and ecu chip/tune)
that was door to door with my car. I was overall very impressed and was caught way off guard.
:haha At the end of the day its still an eclipse…

Cossey totally hustled that guy. The car had headers, intake, exhaust and something else but yea it was near stock. Nice car but not my bag.
