Well, it’s official. I’ve owned the same car for over a year now! _gasp_ Last year I purchased this 2012 Golf TDI off the dealership lot with 16 miles on it. Now, exactly one year later I have 28.3k on it. It has been pretty much hassle free and very good to me.

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > looks awesome. is it fun? For the fuel mileage, it’s fun. I never need to down shift or worry about passing people. It corners okay too for a front wheel drive. It’s all relative though. The last 2 cars I had owned made 700hp+ so my definition of fun may be a bit skewed compared to the average person. ---
