First day in 8 years with no VW.

Sort of down. Had to buy a new car but could not even get close toswinging enough $$$ for a new Golf. Had an A3 Gold for 8 years,nearly 150k miles. But it was old and after putting 2 grand inrepairs, another 1.5 grand showed up. I was tired of putting moneyinto a car with no end in sight. So I had to buy a new car on thecheap. I hate used cars so never buy them. I had not reallyfollowed VW's prices recently so was taken aback at how much the Golfcosts. I sure would buy one again if I had the $$$. So I got what Icould, a (UGH) Chevy Aveo hatchback. I never got to drive an A1 Golf,but I imagine it was similar to this car. Light as heck. Tiny, fitsnearly anywhere. Amazing fuel milage. Maybe it doesnt handle as wellas an A1. And it only costs 10 grand. Decent warranty. I'll see howit holds up. Not expecting much. I just wish VW had a cheaper car.They used to be the people's car.Its hard not driving a VW anymore. and I hate Chevy's.

No car in the U.S. other than the Pruis and Honda's little 2-seater hybrid gets better average mileage than the VW TDI.
