Replying to: eldaino (Jun 18, 2007 5:57 am) For example, an '05 Accord vs '05 Passat. The Passat may need one more repair during the 3-yr lease period (i.e., ignition coil), the Accord suffers in ride comfort every single day! Which one would you pick to pamper you? The Accord also suffers in big turning circle that needs more backing up for 3 or 5 point turns. "You must be a hobbit if you have driven any civic with a radio out of arms reach." I'm 5'11 & am sick of cars designed by people w/ short legs. I always have to take off my shoes in order to gain some leg room. Otherwise, with the seat moved aft, I will have to stretch my arms & even lean forward in order to grab the steering, radio, etc. Even the Rabbit/Jetta had this problem from MkI to MkIV! The Focus & S40 fit me fine, but not quite so in the similar-twin -- the Mazda3. Let alone the new Civic coupe. |

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 20, 2007 1:10 pm) farenheits aren't really all that much more expensive than some decked to the gills gti's and gli's: they include all the goodies standard, plus its a limited edition much like the r32, with a serial number and everything. Factor in the unique color, wheels, and interior trim and that tops off the price. For some people its awesome, like most special editions are, and for others who aren't dubbers, its no biggie, or 'stupid'. But all the ones i've seen have been snatched up.

Replying to: andres3 (Jun 20, 2007 11:21 am) the launch control thing is a bit misleading though, current 'regular' gti's have it as well, its even in the brochures you can get at the dealer that come with the dvd. |

Replying to: fasterthanyou (Jun 18, 2007 5:26 pm) Just to clear the confusion. The Euro-spec are made in Japan & no clumsy nose-heavy 6 cylinder. The most & least reliable cars do not have much problems when new. Statistics show that 7-yr old Japanese cars got as much repair problems as 4-yr old American cars. |
