I've been looking for a little commuter car for the past few weeks...started looking at Hondas & VW's, then started leaning more towards Jetta's & Golf's b/c I thought I wanted a TDI....however I soon realized that everyone seems to want a lot more for the diesels so I decided to stick with a gasser instead.
I located this one last weekend over at Hiley...really clean little car that someone traded in on a new one just a few days prior. They were great to deal with, put it on a lift for me and all, and they made a good cash deal on it too.
It's a 1.8 Turbo with a 5-spd. Has a clean history and they even had a lot of the service records on it too. I was really looking for something stock, but turns out this one had a few mods on it...obviously the 17" BBS Wheels, also has like new Firehawks on it, Koni coilovers, a cold air intake, catback exhaust, strut tower brace, and a nice Kenwood head unit with DVD, GPS, Satellite, etc. The stereo sounds great in it...I assume it must have some after market speakers too, but haven't pulled a panel to look yet.
Only things I don't care for.....the exhaust is a little louder than my taste..it's not fart-can loud or anything, but I'd just prefer it to be quiet like stock. It also has a pretty firm ride, but the Koni's are adjustable so I'm going to pull it in this weekend, soften up the dampers and maybe raise it a little to see if that helps.
I want to try to locate the PO so that I can ask some questions and find out more about it's history.
