Kind of a heads up IF You are going to look for a Golf...

if you are going to look at the Mk3 chassis's, Check to see if it is a Mexican built Jetta..

Look at the Vin of the car ( at the bottom of the whindshield ) and if i begins with 3, you have a mexian sitting infront of you, i suggest bakcing away slowly and trying not to turn your back to it due to the hick "stab you in the back" returns on the car.


on the other hand, if it has a 1 2 or VWV then you are bascially Good to GO! do the usuall checks and etc.

i would ALSO like to add to anyone that is prolly going to reply to this post, if you are talking the Mk4 chassis's, The Bacisally ONLY Non-mexian's you can get are the Wolfsburg's... this apply's to the Jetta's, Golf's, Bug's, Pissat's, etc.

Anyway, a friendly heads up :)

pps, The Three top manufactures for Quality and durability right now in Northamerica are Toyota, Honda, And VW.
keep that in mind.

The VW golf is something i always craved, good call captain.

but you really think those american cars are more reliable then a import?
I gotta tell you a story about the Volkswagen Golf. Dad's friend's daughter had bought a 1998 Volkswagen Golf GTI, very well-priced, great condition, great performance all-year round. About a year after she bought it, she was involved in a head-on collision with an SUV on a fast street. She survived with barely any injuries and the accident investigators said it was the design of the car that saved her. If it hadn't been a Volkswagen, she could've easily died. Pretty convincing for me.

In answer to your question, Japanese cars such as Toyota and Honda are extremely well-built, reliable, and cheap cars. I know a lot of people that started off with a Civic or Corolla :icon26:
They surely beat the North American cars right out of the water. Just looking at the numbers of models each year that Ford and GM keep pulling back off the streets is cause for concern as a consumer.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

Jesus christ I'm sorry I ever fucking offer my opinion. What I'm trying to say is that I think the tC has excellent styling for it's price range and class. Do you make it a point to correct and nitpick everything I say or am I just that stupid?

You can't believe how much he's winging it. You have to understand something about Amidy. He thinks he's smart. He thinks he knows something so he talks like he does, however he knows shit. He really is one of the dumbest motherfuckers here because he talks out of his ass so much. He's the kind of guy that you know in real life, that when he starts talking you just roll your eyes because you know there's going to be some major bullshit spewing out of his mouth, but you don't call him out on it because he'll just keep bullshitting, never admitting he has no clue what he's talking about. You all know the type. Thanks to the internet though, he's able to find a bunch of retards who really are stupid, that buy into his bullshit, which just makes him bullshit more. He really is a sad case, and if I cared I'd feel bad that he'll never get laid, but I don't, so fuck him. Fuck him up his stupid ass.

A Scion tC is nothing like a BMW. In any way.
I'm talking about the style of the body.

I see what you mean bro. The Bimmer has all the right touches to it though.

And I do agree with you about the tC. It is hands down the nicest looking cheap car out there. A girl I work with has a nice white one like in that pic, and its pretty mint. A kid down the street from me has a nice new black tC and it looks pretty slick.

If your looking for a peppy little 4 banger SUV, check out the Tucson. ($17,000 - $21,000) new, They also come in a fairly efficient 6 cylinder as well.

Tons of room in the front and back seats even for LARGE people. Comes standard with roof rails, and the back seats fold flat as does the passenger seat for storing your board inside...

My favorite is the candy red with black wheels and some window tint.
