A black one has cut me off coming out of a neighborhood on my way in to work multiple times this week. Very BMW of him

I see these by the truckload. It never gets easier. It’s worse than the new Prius. At least that is completely hideous, they didn’t take something that looks pretty great and then ruin it.

I might be the owner of a 1999 or 2001? New Beetle soon.

It was my grandma’s. It’s that rad orange color with aftermarket sport wheels and a manual trans (5spd?) Any who, the transmission doesn’t work and it needs a lot of little random things (a good proper service, wear items, and cosmetic details). Is there anything else I should look out for?

Is it a 2.slow or a 1.8T? The 2.slow us indestructible. But on the 1.8T you’ll need a cool-pack conversion kit from 034 to run the FSI coil packs, and make sure TB/WP is up to date.

I don’t agree, but first, I must ask why you feel this way.

They drive like a sport truck, can comfortably carry 4 real-sized adults, look beautiful inside and out, but still Is very authoritative in its exterior design, and is just an all-around awesome car.

i think 2.slow. If it’s 1.8T it would have a turbo badge right? Are these timing chain?

You forgot the Y in dopey.

Just buy a real crossover people. This “coupe-like”crossover thing is nearly as stupid as coupe-sedans, just way, way uglier.

None of the Mk4s are chain. All variants are belt-driven. And correct, Turbo is marked as such.

That’s a matter of options. Styling is always subjective. I, for one, love the styling of the X4 and X6.

They are DOPE. I think they were made specifically for people who call things DOPE. And Russians.

As a real-sized adult human being, I can confirm that the sloping roofline does no wonders for comfort.

Better an X6 than an X4 though.

I've sat in an X6, and my hair still touches the roof. There's more headroom in my Z3.

I could rant for paragraphs on how much I hate the X6, but I’m just gonna say...diff’rent strokes.

X6 is barf-o-rama, but I’m actually okay with the X4. I feel the same way about the 5GT vs the 3GT, I find the 3GT relatively acceptable, still ugly though.

Quirky bodystyles work better on smaller form factors I think.
