I don't really want a used car anymore. Unless it's maybe 1-2 years old at most and very low miles.

I know there's many other options but in quite picky and I like mod friendly cars.

Like Vdubs and such.. I know them more than most.
May either wait for 15' Golf R since that thing will be way better than current years R's, faster, better looking, everything.
Or maybe the 15' GTI since it will be nicer as well but not as much.

But the ST for what you get fully loaded and such is equal to or less than a GTI in price and faster.

Don't want a mustang or camaro etc either. I'm not big on Japanese cars either except maybe STI's but I don't like their interiors.

I got plenty of time to think for now so who knows. Evens decent used 335i I'd love. Favorite BMW model not including the usual.. m3 etc

Buy this, and quit wasting your time looking at FWD econoboxes to modify.

I'd pick the Focus way before the audi. VW/Audi is nothing but problems. Most unreliable pieces of shit I've ever had to deal with.

My family had 2 VW's growing up and both were nothing but problems. 1 was one of the newer 2.5 Rabbits and the other was a MK5 Jetta.

Both were nothing but problems.

Nice try though.

/e Not to mention VW's are known to have electrical problems, and 1 recently local to me caught fire while driving due to electrical fire. Can provide link if you want rand.

One of the problems they had ALL of the time with their Rabbit was the headlights. It blew headlight after headlight after headlight (has a cluster light for it). Then it had problems with the electrical lock/unlock mechanisms in the doors, then the ESP started to act up, so they sold it.
