Guys, I need an honest answer from you VW owners. Are VWs more expensive to fix? Is it more difficult to DIY?
Thinking about buying a jetta.

Yes and yes (for the most part). They will nickel and dime you, but if you do your own maintenance it's not terrible. Treat it well and it will treat you better than your average car.

I'm not rich and I've owned two. Go for it and enjoy the thrill of owning a driver's car.

Audi brah here...2004 A6 with 4.2 V8.

I'll upgrade to a newer one after I buy a house.

[itsnotjon]

Anyone have a TT / TTRS ?

[BBLuder]

I wish we got Scirocco's here...love the Scirocco R but for what could be a $37k USD asking price I'm not too sure.

Golf R (AWD), R32 Golf (AWD), GTi, GLi, VR6, Corrado...love what VW has/had to offer.

I got to drive a new VW Beetle GSR (210hp) wonder what everyone here thinks of them.

I've had a few vw's but my '79 Rabbit is my favorite. Fun to drive and unique. Going to get into an air cooled vw next.

Yes on both fronts but as someone else mentioned, if you know how to do basic maintenance yourself, the car will treat you better than the average car. I personally believe the more "reliable" cars simply put up with poor maintenance better.

Thanks! Mine is just stock for now, 1.5L gasser. It's slowww, would like to do a motor swap but have mixed feelings on removing original motor from car since its in such nice condition and only 56,000 miles.

I've seen that video, it's awesome.

Check this VR6 turbo mk1 smoke a gsxr 1000

Finally got my new wheels in. Tried to mount some 225/40 tires last night and they didn't stretch nearly enough for this fitment. Got some skinnier 215/40 on the way. Waited so long then getting delayed again by my own stupid mistake!

possible new vr6

Volkswagen is pushing ahead with development of a new narrow-angle V6 direct-injection gas engine, sources from the German carmaker's engineering headquarters based in Braunschweig reveal.

Engineering for the new engine is being overseen by Volkswagen's new head of engine development, Fritz Eichler -- who in a previous position led the development of the current generation of Mercedes-Benz AMG powerplants -- continues with a swept volume of 3.0-liters and an unfashionable 15-degree cylinder bank angle. It has been conceived for transverse mounting.

But unlike the earlier naturally aspirated VR6, the new engine has been designed to run forced induction, with Volkswagen insiders hinting at a twin-turbocharged setup, as previewed on the engine used by Volkswagen's flamboyant Design Vision GTI shown at the Woerthersee fan meet in Austria in May 2013. The transversely mounted twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine used in the Design Vision GTI was claimed to boast a narrow angle design and develop 496 bhp along with 413 lb-ft of torque between 4000 and 6000 rpm.

Development versions of the new engine are described as being less heavily tuned with a specific output on par with the various incarnations of Volkswagen's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which suggests a power output between 340 hp and 450 hp. By comparison, the most powerful version of the original VR6, a 3.6-liter evolution used in the Passat R36, produced 295 hp.

The new VR6 is set to be used in a number of new Volkswagen models in selected markets, including replacements for the Passat, Passat CC, a production version of the CrossBlue concept, and possibly a successor to Scirocco as well as a number of Volkswagen commercial vehicles.

That sounds like some really exciting news from VW. But as exciting as it sounds, I've vowed that my next new car would have some form of alternative or hybrid propulsion. That includes diesels and/or hybrids which I've been waiting for years for VW to ship more of to the states.

For now, they seem to be limited solely to the Jetta and only in one underpowered variant. If things go as planned, I will be in the market for a new car right about this time next year. I'd love to make that a diesel Tiguan as my daily driver.

As for the VR6, what say we mate one of those with an electric motor counterpart and put it in the new Phaeton slated to arrive in the U.S. for 2015. Entering in at something around 500 hp would truly be impressive. No need for a W12, although it could stay around to power the Bentley.

Once had the privilege of sitting in a Ur Quattro. Not the fastest of cars, but as far as Audi's motorsport legacy goes, that car is genesis.

Yeah, it was sort of like meeting a celebrity haha. I used to belong to an Audi club, and some of these guys lived and breathed Audi. Very cool indeed.
