2003 Volkswagen GTI VR6

My dad's friend bought one ... keep in mind that only 99 cars were imported here.

A sweet car ... :~)

I think you're getting this confused with the $30,000 3.2 liter 240 HP R32

Yawn! 😛 Gimme a loaded Mini Cooper S for $24,000😀 The damn thing has a V6 and still can't outrun a Mini, SVT Focus, or SE-R...let alone a Neon SRT-4

yes but it looks better then all thoes

The GTI looks like a two boxes stacked on top of each other with the edges rounded off. Granted, the same can apply to the Mini but it has 10x more style than the GTI.

The Mini starts at about $16,000 and goes to about $24,000 fully loaded. It will out accelerate and outhandle a pudgy GTI. Not to mention that the Mini has more standard ammenities and safety features.

The GTI thrived on being a lightweight pocket rocket for little $$$. It's now grown into an overweight hog which weighs about as much as a base model Altima. It's funny that the new Mini Cooper/Cooper S are more keeping with the old GTI tradition than the current GTI's.
 
eh, i'd rather have the 1.8T and up the boost, frankly. the VR6 is a piece of junk.
 
The thing is so fast. I guess VW owners get a nice solid drive and superior interior to the competition, but at the lights this thing will be begging for mercy from the Dodge SRT4!

I also think that 200 HP is measley from a v6 considering the 4 cylinder will get only 20 less even though it does have to have a turbo (though surprisingly will beat it at 0-60!). NFS4 is right these things are just too heavy and hog like.
 
Well, only a homo would get caught driving a New Beetle or Cabriolet. Jetta is at least bi. Golf is borderline bi.

Subarus with the expection of the WRX series are for lesbians 😀
 
Either these guys have no 'effin clue how to drive, or else the gearing on the 6 speed sucks. My old '95 VR6 GTi was faster than that, and it had 20 less HP & torque. The previous gen VR6's with 5 speeds were good for ~6.8 to 7.0 0-60's.

As for the mini....the GTi is MUCH bigger, considerably cheaper, and can actually be bought in Iowa.

Yeh, but the mini is still half the car, and can't even be bought in Iowa. If I want one, I either have to drive to Chicago or down to St. Louis. WTF?

This crap about certain makes being more gay than others has got to end. Why can't you fcking grow up NFS4? The one car out of VWs line that I wouldn't be caught dead in is a Beetle, but the rest of only called homosexual because too many girls think Jettas are "so cute". And a Mini is tiny ass get-caught-under-the-back-of-an-suv car. The SVT Focus, is a Focus; enough said. The Neon SRT-4 is still a Neon trying to be an all out sports car. \

You can have your loaded Mini Cooper S, but if you thing the Golf is any more homosexual than the Mini (IMO, no car is gay but thing what you want), you have problems.

Either grow some balls or stop taking things so seriously. It was only a friggin' joke. I learned not to take many comments seriously on this board a LONG time ago. Besides, Lance Armstrong does advertising for Subaru. He's far from being a lesbian, but Subaru's have that label attached to them after a "certain" commercial aired a few years ago.

If you want to bitch about labels being attached to cars, feel free to express yourself here:
