'bout time for another post, here it is,
The VW Golf
(credit: autoblog.com)
Right, it's basically a new VW Rabbit. This should mean that the clutch linkage should break a lot, and that when people attempt to get in it, the door handles come off.
It isn't cheap, either. $19,895 gets you the base model. For just a little more than $20,000, you could get a Dodge Dart GT. The Dart GT also has 14 more horsepower. But not only is the Dart better value for money, but it also has character. The VW is boring. It doesn't have the good looks or sportyness of something like a Ford Focus.
The GTi version isn't much more interesting either, as the most powerful trim level pumps out just 220 brake horsepower. The equivalent Ford Focus costs $3,000 less, and has thirty-two more horses under the hood. Also the Ford can come with stripes, therefore it is both faster and better than similar cars that don't come with stripes (i.e. The Volkswagen Golf).
So, the VW Golf. Expensive, boring, and slow.
Do you have any thoughts about cars/cats? What drives you crazy? One post a week so stay tuned!

Well, of course it is more expensive, someone has to pay VW's H.u.G.E. settlement...
ReplyDeleteIt should still be cheap, though.
DeleteVW, despite a shady past, both recent and long ago, has a reputation as a hip car maker. 🤔🤔
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Beetle can trace its origins back to a scam created by the Nazi party, and the Type 2 minibus was terrible in every way. The thinking faces are not unwarranted.
Delete(also, because the Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche, and the 911 was the successor to the 360, which was basically a souped-up Beetle, the 911 and indeed all Porsches are based on the Beetle, so some good came out of a horrible, horrible car.)
Who here is going to watch the eclipse on Monday?
