Volkswagen GLI 2005Change

Best car that I have ever owned, and probably will ever own. Really sorry to see it go but the family is growing and I need to upsize to a larger vehicle. This car is a head-turner and is super-fun to drive. If you know VW's you will know how hard this car is to find.

I have owned this car for a little over a year and it's been a pretty good used car purchase. I drove it heavily (200km+ per day) for work and it held up well, and of course was the most fun part of my workday!

As with most VWs, I have had some electrical problems with it (nothing super critical - just fuses, ignition switch, wiring - pretty cheap fixes, under $500 total). Other than that, it's been great.

Fun, sporty car, love the 6 speed transmission and turbo option. It looks good, SUPER comfortable Recaro limited edition seats, and great for highway driving. Gas mileage is great on highway, less than great in the city. I constantly get comments from friends about how nice my car is once they get inside, and how they want the seats if I ever sell it.

Overall, my favourite car that I've owned. Plan to keep it for a few more years until I can afford my dream Porsche.

Love VW! This year and model is a great example of VW.
