There are definitely some interesting "others" in this thread. My other is a jeep Wrangler Sahara.
I always had a wrangler as a kid. But as an adult, I couldn't live with one as a full time daily driver. With that said, the latest generation wrangler (jk) is more civilized. Mainly b/c of the longer wheelbase, disc brakes were finally added to the rear axle, and more of them available with better gearing (411). The Jeep serves it's purpose in the winter. I put the hardtop on, and the jeep is used 75% of the time, as my oil burner rocks summer tires all year. and it gets cold in philly. in the summer, I put the rag top on and use the jeep for light trailriding/camping trips and driving around our mtn property. also for hauling a lightweight canoe/kayak trailer. Wife has an Audi A3 2.0T, but it's getting old. She's looking at a TDI now, possibly Passat or Touareg.

Other Car in Garage
A 2012 Subaru Forester for when the weather is more inclement. Yes, I'm a sissy with all that torque under foot.

I'm selling my jeep. Having serious issues determining what to get next.
It should be a hatchback, my 335 seats don't fold down. It should have awd but get good mileage. Or fwd and have factory sport suspension, like a gti. But alas, it should be different. My jeep was SO different from my car. I am not sure if I NEED a gti and a 335d. It's a pita decision. The 2008 r32 is in the price range, but I wish it was the newer R motor, the turbo. Not the 3.2L. So, I'm not considering it. Subaru and volvo have a few options, but the motors are dated.... are not direct injected, mpg could be better.

Wy don't you like the old r motor? Just the gas mileage or some other facts of which I am not aware? Personally, I always liked the old r32s. I haven't driven the new ones but the NA v6 was a large part of the appal. To me, the larger NA engine made it feel more Audi than VW especially when driven next to a GTI (and it leaves options for a mean bi turbo setup) BTW, have you driven the Hyundai veloster turbo with the DCT? I actually quite like it as a DD. the non-turbo is almost as good, but its a bit too lacking in the power department...nimble little guy though |

That's a great garage, but you're missing a diesel!

Picked up a 2014 Mazda CX5 for the wife a month ago. We both love it.
Now I've got to decide what to do with my D when the lease is up soon.

After we bought our d last July, we had to get my wife out of a 2006 Mazda Tribute and into a new VW Golf TDI. Not as strong as the BMW but definitely more practical. I'm planning on getting a Malone tune for it once were out of warranty. Definitely a fun car to toss around.

Is that Malone tune for the Golf TDI? What magic does it do to it? A Jetta Sportswagen TDI was on my short list when I bought the D last May.

The Malone tune is for the VW. Supposedly the ecu flash and DSG transmission upgrade will get me from 140 HP and 236 lb-ft to 179 and 290 lb-ft with the Stage 1.5 Beyond that I'll have to do some actual modding. I'd rather not do more since it's my wife's DD. There's a local tuner near work that I plan on approaching. We love the Golf's agility and coolness factor over the Jetta Sportwagen; plus I can actually load all my gear for gigs.

TDI. Added 25-30 hp and 50 ft lbs of torque. My Golf was a 6 speed and it was a fun car. The 'd is in a different league, of course. Still quite happy with the upgrade. |
