none of you seem to know what you are talking about.

I own 2 GTi's right now, and have owned one in one shape or form for the last 12yrs I daily drive a VW that has 100% more power then it came with from the factory. Zero reliability issues, but i look after my cars

JD power, said a Chevy cobalt has better reliability and better interior quality then a VW? If you have ever had the misfortune of having to drive a Cobalt then would see why sites like that aren't a reliable source.

@JoPsyko the cobalt is nothing to the GTI, wtf would they say that for? i love the GTI shit loads better than the cobalt, i think the GTI has a much better interior and much more reliable than the Cobalt, German engineering kicks ass.

"the seats are a bit narrow for some" saying something about Americans!!! lol no offence

[fuzzyschwartz]

I like how when the seats fit normal size people they say it is narrow.

[MrBuzzialdrin]

seats are not narrow...they are perfect....it makes a big difference...not the gadgets!

@PrivatePenis But the Mazdaspeed3 has that terrible smily-grille on the front of it..

@AssasinsClann about 2000 or less

I had a 2007 Passat 2.0t that I turned in after the lease was up. I bought a new Honda 2011 Pilot because I needed it. Now, all I keep thinking about is the feel of driving a Volkswagen. I loved my Passat, but I had no intensions of keeping it when I started the lease, and loved it even more when I jumped a 7" curb and cleared it by 4 feet. All without doing any damage except for prematurely wearing out the front right tire. I made the mistake of driving the new GTI and GLI. I will get one soon!

"really, the gti is just a sportyer version of the golf."

[PrivatePenis]

[kryptomacxc]

[lionsroaar]

@JoPsyko LOL, I have an '05 Cobalt now... looking at a GTI for my next car, and trust me, I agree with you.
