New car

What do you want it to do?

The Corolla.

With a Corolla, you buy it once. Dodgey looks, minimal performance.

With a VW, you get Euro style, Euro performance, grip, handling and the whole Youth trip that goes with VWs.

But, you pay for it once when you buy it. And then you pay for it again in repairs and time waiting to get it fixed.

I like only paying for a car once, thanks. And, I like driving, not sitting in the Dealer's repair dep't.

If I want to read magazines, I'll do it at home.

And vhen you vant to um-pimp your ride, you say "Vhat".

Style is subjective but performance isn't. For example, the new GTI (with expensive 18" rubber) doesn't handle as well as the new Civic SI which, curiously, weighs more and doesn't handle as well as a Mazda3 S.

I've friends with this experience. No one's interested in a repeat.
