The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee

[Scott]

So I'm not sure if I'm getting anything out of this except them fixing the speaker and the lights.

So here's where I'm at.

I don't feel the dealer has really wronged me too terribly. Sure they sucked at diagnosing the lights and speakers, but I'm MORE mad at VW for such shit workmanship on the vehicle itself.

Let's propose VW took the car back. I have no idea what I'd want to DD more than a GTI. What's even out there that competes at the same price point? The SI,WRX,FoSt are miles behind the GTI.

Mazda 3 hatch is the answer.   We got my wife one last fall, leather, nav, 3 pedals, out the door under 20k.  All I've had to do in 15k is change the oil, which the dealership does while I sip coffee in their lounge.  On the street it's just as much fun as the GTI and I don't have to screw around with it.

But really, who cares for a commuter car?  You are getting a track car to take care of the "fun" driving, it doesn't matter (which means you should be getting a tow capable truck/suv).  Drive that when you want to play on the street.
