Daily driver, tow vehicle, race car(need 1 or 2 of these), backup car

**Goat Blower** · 02-15-2013

Yeah, I've got the tow rig/daily driver, but I could really use a second sports car. Something with a V8 and that's actually worth something in great shape.

Had a chance to drive this one. (we had a customer who wanted it, and Luther allowed us to borrow it). Pretty fun car. It's like 8k off original sale price.

Made a down payment on a 2010 jetta TDI blk on blk with 40k miles, waiting to see one more on monday for the same price so we will see what happens.

I drove it and loved it, felt so tight nimble and very comfy on the shitty roads of STC, nice to have power everything still and heated seats, just tinted windows and remote start away from being perfect.

Nice! More details? Trim, pics, etc!

Very nice! I hope you'll be as pleased with your VW as I am with mine.

you know where to get that tint come spring time!

Well it seems like any and every mechanic on a forum says to not touch a TDi so I will not be purchasing a tdi. I do not want any headaches with anything I buy and if that many people are saying to runaway it might be a wise choice.

I'm going to go back to basics and drive everything I want to, then make my decision from there.

I want a 4dr that will fit 4 adults in it, manual transmission and around the 12-14k range. I want something that I can just drive and not worry about and hopefully be enjoyable to drive.

List of cars include: 2005+ Legacy GT, 06+ G35x ('07 is preferred a lot nicer interior), TL, not sure what else after that.

Add an evo if you want baller status

**goodhart** · 02-18-2013

G35x seems like a nice car, and you get AWD for winter.

After having my evo for two winters then going to a POS honda for 2 winters and now back to AWD with my suzuki...I can say this, I will never drive anything but AWD in the winter if I can help it.

it's not that you can't get around in FWD or even RWD, but it makes life a lot easier and safer.

I know it's not a 4-door, but i've been looking at the infiniti G37x, AWD coupe.

turbotalon1g · 02-18-2013

G37x is out of the budget, I kinda lost my mind looking at those TDi's.

Its like everything you look at has issues, but if you spend a bit more then you are in the clear. LIke with Legacy GT's apparently those 5 spds are junk basically and everyone spends $1k plus doing a 6 spd swap and all this shit. - I don't want this.

**Kracka** · 02-18-2013

If you want a car that needs work/mods, get an Evo, if you want a car that doesn't require anything special just get a plain Jane basic car. You're looking in that middle ground which tends to be a problem for us modders/tweakers...

I don't even want to change the oil on my daily. What's wrong with having your Talon as your fun car and a TDI, which you never even pop the hood on?

This, but I'll def change the oil myself--it's almost easier than dealing with taking it elsewhere. Man I'd love a second car as a DD

i wanna say most vw and audi guys mostly get all their stuff done at a shop and most dont know how to even work on a car. Not saying all just most so i think thats why you got the responses you did. Just food for thought maybe.
