Had my 1.8t golf wrecked about a month back and had it totaled. (Chump blew a red light while I was making a left)
So after hemming and hawing about my options 325xi wagon, A4 3.0 Quattro wagon, outback wagon, Mercedes c class wagon… I was leaning towards the W8 wagon.
I couldn't decide if I wanted a auto or manual 6spd- but all the 6spds I could find I could find US wide had the light grey dash and leather- which doesn't work for me at all. :thumbdown
So I wound up with an auto, but in a nice Silverstone grey. It was already tinted, sport suspension, 18k miles, phatbox. But it was in Hollywood CA at a small specialty car shop- so I had to wait.
Got it today, so I'm now in the club! :beer:
What a rush this car is to drive, I can't believe I even considered breaking my long VW allegiance. I’m embarrassed I even considered going 325xi wagon. My girlfriend drives a 325xi sedan and it is just nowhere near as much fun- and I think the overall quality in the W8 is better to.
Already got my first wave from another VW nut in a modded MKIII out on the highway today. My girlfriend was like what the hell is that guy honking at you for?? She just doesn’t get it.
Anyway after lurking for over a month here now- I’m in.
As for future mods.. I see myself adding smoke sides and tails, VW from valence and side skirts and that's about it.
C'ya around!
