2011 Volkswagen Golf Tdi Hatchback 4-door, Malone Tune Pd Exhaust Ecs Suspension on 2040-cars
Rockford, Michigan, United States
2011 VW Golf TDI 4dr 6sp MT Tornado Red price is set at market value for the base car plus half of the parts only cost. If you want the fastest TDI out there with better handling than a GTI, this is it. 60+ MPG Highway, 40+ around town. I have several cars, and this has been one of my favorites: unstoppable torque, great handling, and the best gas mileage of anything I have ever owned. But its time to make room. There isn’t anything I would change about this car. You can spend $ 35k+ to build your own, or take this one home for a lot less. The new common rail 2.0 is a great engine, but the stock intake and exhaust chokes these vehicles robbing them of power and efficiency. So the week after I took delivery of it, I worked with Performance Diesel and Malone tuning to install the best breathing and best programmed system available. Malone’s website lists 184 bhp and 333 lb-ft torque, and I don’t doubt it for a second. In fact, the numbers for this car are probably better because of the custom stainless exhaust. The fuel economy is better than stock by over 20% city and highway. The sound is perfect. Not loud, but throaty when full throttle. And you can hear the turbo whistle a little at idle. Its been a great daily driver and family trip car, no complaints whatsoever. The tucked away hitch works great for a bicycle rack. The other great thing about this car is the suspension and handling. It has a full KWV2 coil-over and sway bar setup from ECS Tuning, so it handles better than any GTI could ever dream of – and gets 2X the gas mileage. The height shown in the pictures is at the lowest setting possible, it can be adjusted about 3” higher if you want, and the shocks are adjustable too. I have like new Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice snow tires mounted on 16” black steelies if you want them for $ 450. All stock parts are included if you want to return the car to its original configuration. Waxed and in a heated garage with owners manual, service history, both keys, etc. Clear title. Dealer serviced with synthetic oil only, suspension adjustment and alignment by independent VW shop. Standard factory items: Satellite radio, Bluetooth, heated seats, sunroof, rubber TDI mats, etc. Additions

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.

The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
