#1577 of 1593 Re: Heat/AC Constant [tabran] by ksteffey77 Jul 21, 2009 (5:22 pm)
Replying to: tabran (Mar 30, 2009 7:56 pm) Hey, I have had this issue with every car I've owned, I drive a 2003 golf and it tends to do that also. It's pretty standard with most cars. I suggest instead of turning on your AC if you just switch it to cold it will let out cold air but if you have it set on heat it will blow out warmer air. At least that is what I've noticed. So whatever setting you had it on when previously driving it is probably the temperature you will feel when you drive it next, even if it is off. I am looking to get a new GTI, and aside from that small issue are there any other problems with its handling or just in general? I have been researching for about 4 months now to assure myself that I get a good, long lasting car. Replies to this message: tabran (Jul 21, 2009 7:28 pm) upstatedoc (Jul 22, 2009 8:06 am)

Replying to: nyccarguy (Jul 09, 2009 8:04 pm) I've test driven both of those cars to see which was also better, I suggest the GTI in performance I'd say it beats the cooper. Just my personal preference the mini cooper s is not very quick and it has a slow 0-60 speed. It also seemed more cramped to me. I'd definitely go for the GTI and I hear that year of the GTI will be out by fall of this year? I could be wrong but that is just what I hear.

Replying to: ksteffey77 (Jul 21, 2009 5:22 pm) ksteffey77, Thanks for your reply--Glad to know it is a common issue. Only other issue I've had w/my 06' GTI was a starting problem which was fixed within a few months by a computer software upgrade. Otherwise it's been flawless and an absolute joy to drive. Couldn't recommend the car more highly...   Best regards,   T

Replying to: ksteffey77 (Jul 21, 2009 5:22 pm) I've had my '08 GTI 6MT for 19 mos and 12k miles (primarily a summer car) It is a joy to drive. What is not a joy: OEM summer Bridgestones fanning/feathering so bad (the noise) they had to be replaced at 8k miles, I would not get summer tires.   MPG counter went haywire shortly after purchase.   Plastic skid plate/rock guard protecting engine compartment just fell off at highway speed, I thought i ran over something but there was nothing in front of me on the highway. Haven't had it replaced.   Good little car with gobs of torque and still gets good gas mileage.   Oh, another negative, all the ricers want to race me.

Replying to: ghetdo1 (Apr 09, 2008 7:30 pm) hi ghetdo,   what was the trick in getting the price below invoice? what did you say? also, what do you think about this deal?   2009 DSG 4 doors premium radio 18 " tinted windows   is it fair to negotiate it for OTD $$23,000 ? his offer was for $24,152 without TTL & Dealer Fee . What should I say to get it for $23,000?? THank you for any input from anyone.
#1585 of 1593 06 gti hatchback by buffy22 Sep 07, 2009 (3:33 pm)
Im looking at on 06 new gti manual hatchback that only has 8100 miles on it..?!! The dealer price is around $19,000. TMV on edmunds is more like $12000. Autocheck has it listed as a fleet, rental or lease car. Does this sound like a good deal..if I can get the dealer down in price? Im set to test drive this week.

Replying to: buffy22 (Sep 07, 2009 3:33 pm) For $12,000? Yeah, it would be a fair deal. For $19,000, no, total rip-off.
