128i.

Seriously though, do you want a car similar to the 135i? Send us a list of what you need/want out of a car and we can narrow it down for you.

Used or new?

ruffstik · 12-08-2010, 09:28 AM

New - I only need two doors...thats about it for a requirement. And something that doesnt rattle...lol.

KingOfJericho · 12-08-2010, 09:33 AM

My GTI was probably the best car I've ever owned and it was quite a bargain. Zippy enough to be fun and the shape made it super easy to live with.

ruffstik · 12-08-2010, 09:39 AM

I love GTI's but I lemon lawed a 02 1.8t GTI back in the day...very scarred to go the VW route again...

bozola · 12-08-2010, 10:02 AM

It would help if you narrowed your requirements down. Otherwise you get suggestions like the Malibu. What's wrong withe the 1?

2011 Civic Si in white..that'd be a nice ride

KingOfJericho · 12-08-2010, 12:37 PM

The new WRX is really nice.

doublevanosrc · 12-08-2010, 12:47 PM

Whats the reason for the Sell? Bored already?

ruffstik · 12-08-2010, 01:14 PM

I guess you could say im a tad bored...had the car since launch (03/08). Been reading about the VW GTI R coming next year...looks fun but worry about quality.

KingOfJericho · 12-08-2010, 01:33 PM

If you get bored after a couple of years anyway then why do you care so much about quality in the long term? My VW was perfect for the year that I had it and my pops has had his for 2 years with no issues. They've improved quite a bit over the last few years.

That being said... if I'm in your position I would be looking hard at the WRX. It definitely has the speed and build quality that you're looking for.

I do like the looks of that 5 door. you think its worth the $4k difference between the wrx and the sti version?

Currently owning the STi, it is a great car and offers a lot over the WRX (mainly the transmission). Although i do have rattles and misc noises.
I have also read in regards to VW where its assembled makes a difference on the quality. I had a GTI 337 and R32 and never had any issues with either car even with extensive mods, both were assembled in Germany according to the the VIN.

KingOfJericho · 12-08-2010, 04:01 PM

I'm pretty sure all of the current (06-) GTIs are built in Germany. I know mine was.

The GTIs are, I had a 2008 GTI for 2 years 23k miles and NO problems!! VWs bad quality rep seems to be overrated. Great car but the a/c sucks and the fwd layout isn't the best. Still probably the best car in the $25k segment.
