    somtimes life sucks

    well, i had posted my 325 for sale, but noted that i didnt really have to sell it, but now i do. my 99 jetta has a slipping trans, and i have a 4mo baby that needs a family car, so looks like i will be trading that jetta in, i like jettas but auto cars suck. so im going with a domestic this time, lets see how it handles me. one thing i dont understand is the jetta has 74k on it. and the tranny slips horribly, plus i changed the fluid and filter, no metal shavings, everything is clean. starting to hate imports lol.

      It's an 8 year old Mexican car, what are you expecting?

          I had the infamous vw automatic until I swapped to a manual trans last summer. VW used to have a 100k powertrain warranty, not sure what it is now. I was a second owner of mine.

                          My mom's auto trans in her 99 accord slipped at 58K miles. That tranny has been known to go bad so it was covered under warentee. Mini trans suck balls too.

                              the new GTI's are actually made in Wolfsberg germany, with something like 99% german parts. I might drive one of those, but I would have a hard time spending $25k on one.
