Just because you don't have the Lexus anymore doesn't mean you have leave the site for good. I sold my cars about a year ago and still stop by every once in a while. Nice VW.

Good luck with the VW. My lil bro is getting the new jetta gli. Pretty nice for the price. I think the VW forums is vwvortex.com.

Congrats....the GTI looks goood!

I am also losing my patience over my IS250 rattling and running harsh after crossing 40K.
Apparently, the shocks are not aging very well and no longer are supple yet firm like how it was for the first 35K of the life.

I just went the other way. Got rid off my TDi for an IS250. My TDi was a third VW/Audi car I owned and I promised myself that I will never own another VAG group car. They are nothing but issues. My latest TDi I bought new and at 10k miles the water pump crapt out, at 30k miles second gear was grinding ridiculously. Yes it got fixed by my warranty but you shouldn't have all these issues to start off with. There are tons of people having issues with the high pressure fuel pumps and in some cases VW refuses to replace them under warranty. My two previous Audi's I had nothing but issues with as well.

I think you just made a bad move.

If you are going to go German BMW is the only way to go. I still have my E46 M3 after 6 years of ownership and it is holding up great

Nice ride, I was actually in the market for on until I bought my IS350. I'd like to grab one as a commuter in the future, much better on gas.

Have fun with your dub. I had a fully modded R32 a couple years back. Tons of aftermarket stuff and sites plus all those fun euro meets. Went to one where over 150 dubs and Audis met up for a drive.
