I ended up selling my 2003 GTI instead of this car, so as of now, this car is no longer for sale. If I get an offer I can’t refuse, I would consider selling it, but currently, this is my only car, and I am going to keep driving it. PM me if you want to discuss this further.
I drive a 2012 VW Golf TDI 6 sp. With my heavy foot, going 70-80 i manage to get 44 mpg in my 140 miles daily commute. After 1 yr of ownership and 20k miles, there’s not even a rattle. Excellent car.
