GTI!!!

I am about to replace my 9-year-old VW Jetta with a 2008 VW GTI!! I always want to own a VW Golf, but I couldn't afford one when I was looking for a car 4 years ago. Yesterday I was test-driving a VW Rabbit (they re-badge Golf to Rabbit in the US for nostalgic reasons), but it was sluggish. I told the dealer about that, and he threw me a GTI.

Wow.. this is what I want. The sprint from stop, linear acceleration, smooth shifting and the seamless kicking-in of turbo charge. Geez.. This shit took only 5 seconds to go from 80 to 150 km/h, and it was still pushing my back!

It also delivers decent ride quality and gas mileage for day-to-day drive. The turbo charge will only be summoned when my adrenalin goes off the roof once in a while.

Well.. it won't fall into my budget if the dealer is not offering no-interest financing on all GTIs, plus cutting almost $1400 from the price. It seems they are purging their stock for the 2009 model. In a few days I will be getting a 4-door black with heated seats and 18" wheels. I can't wait to spin it!

Gotta keep a closer eye on the speedometer though. Speeding tickets are expensive.
