    VW is German GM to me, cheap parts, a lot of interchangeability and shitty reliability.


    BUTTTTTT going from a mkIII or newer down to an e30 is not a step up; I love the e30 but a more modern car regardless of make is not a step down from a e30 from a basic transportation stand point in the mind of most drivers.

        Put in a better way. A way that makes sense. Hondas are super reliable, VW's have never been.

          How, Honda makes reliable vehicles that have gotten so stale but are very reliable while remaining a small company; VW makes unreliable cars that used to have cool designs but have gotten stale while trying to become the next toyota. Nissan/bmw seriously? When BMW starts using CVT transmissions that are made at the same plant as Chrysler then I can totally see it.

                    Anybody who drove a VW would easily understand that even a 25 year old BMW is a step up... Period. The VR6 jetta used to be sold as an e36 contender. Just as a BMW, only cheaper. Yeah. Sure. The VR6 has some go, down the revs, but the car has no handling at all. Another POS.
                    Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                      VW = Fun to look at
                      BMW = Fun to drive



                      but for real. I gave my friend with a dialed and stanced VW that he has 5 times as much time and money into it then my car, but one little sideways and some turns and he hated his car.

                        i kind of want to own a mk1 someday, but not to drive. ill just take out the suspension and let it sit in my driveway, pan on the ground.

                            I used to be a VW nut, and I'm still a fan. In my opinion, the original Beetle is the most unique car of all time. I was searching for a MkII Scirocco for a year when something in my head just snapped, and I switched my search to an e30. In less than a month, I had my car.

                            My e30 is the most reliable car I've ever had. Never breaks down, always starts, looks and sounds great, and all the eletricals work. I wouldn't have been able to get the same level of reliability from a Scirocco.

                            My mom had a scirocco when I was a kid. I remember riding in the back seat one night when it was pooring rain, and suddenly the wipers stopped working. Back then this car was only a few years old.

                            VW has made some great classics, but lately they've gone downhill and gotten pretty generic. The new Golf/GTI's are nice, but I just saw the 2011 Jetta on the road yesterday and it's the most boring looking car I've ever seen. Seriously. A Corolla would kick it's ass. and that's sad.

                              My first can I bought was a 1991 vw Cabriolet (hence my user name) I had more fun driving and abusing that car that I've ever had in my bmw. sure it was slower and less power. If you get a Wolfsburg edition like mine, not one made in Mexico, it has 4 wheel independent suspension. It was MK1.5(yes pain in the ass to get parts for). But ya I could off road it while playing airsoft and i didn’t give a crap, I would drift it in the windy hills and go nuts in the snow. My current bmw is so low I can put chains on it, fells heavy as crap in the windy hills and can only be on smooth pavement. so it may be freaking awesome to look and but i miss my cabby a lot. Sold it because everyone called me gay for owning it.

                                Okay...here is my take in it. 87 GTi 8v 1.8L was awesome in the corners, and felt more go-kart'ish. The engine was actually a little more high strung so it was a bit quicker as well. 85 318i has been a lot of fun to drive despite being more gutless, but hell, if I wanted speed I would buy another bike. Both engines are right about tank status, and both earn the same grade in power...at F+, but I think the BMW is a bit nicer to DD than the GTi. Just my 2 cents with comparable 1980's base model Euro's
