...and how nice they are since they come with the features that every other car also comes with now. They really like that it comes with "the bluetooth."Someone shoot me. Also, the one who just bought a new VW is experiencing her first electrical problems.

Cant expect much from a bunch of non-jalops.

Point of order: this means that we can order base models and still have important features, like Bluetooth.

We also get to spend money on things like more power.

I'll give new Corollas this much; they got pretty bright fucking headlights since Toyota gave them standard LEDs. Holy crap, can I see them coming from a mile away.

Something that always worried me about our '08 Passat, bought it new. I figured I'd take the crapshoot and so far it's been great. I even bought the service manual and a computer dongle instead of the extended warranty!!! The only issue we had was a wiring problem to the tailgate system, very early in the car's life that was covered under warranty. Took the dealer a few tries to fix it right, ended up being the BCM (after they replaced the wire harness to the hatch... nice going). Since that repair, no electrical issues. Just turned past 100K mi last month.

I'm trying to decide if I want to tackle the timing belt etc myself or let the dealer do the "100K service"... (2.0T)

I had a VW once that was mostly electrical Gremlin free. Of course, this was an '81 Diesel with manual windows and locks and no options whatsoever, but STILL.

It's imposssible to talk about cars with my coworkers. They practically start drooling while talking about their new Prius or C-Max. Two of my coworkers have Leafs (Leaves?).

Also, not a co-worker, but there's a Prius that parks outside the office with a license plate that says "SAV R AIR". If anyone's face deserves to be farted on, it's the face of whoever drives that car.

...for your Prius driving coworker. This is where his batteries were made.

Blasphemy! Everyone knows that Priuses are powered by unicorn poop and boredom.

Wow, you were lucky! I had an '80 rabbit diesel and it was an electrical nightmare. Of course, the 280,000 miles in New England salt may have had something to do with it.

Now, granted, my horn button didn't work. That was about it, though. 242,000 on it when I sold it.

I hate Priuses because Prius drivers are the most irritating sanctimonius pricks on earth. The ones here insist on driving at or below the speed limit during commutin g time, even when the road and traffic permit the usual 5+ mph over. They usually do this while driving in the left of 3 lanes (6-lane highway).
