No no no... I had a 97 ex brand new (1st car), and a 99 si. Not saying they were bad cars, at all! In fact they were a blast to track. I was just pointing out that dude's friend with the rope holding together the doors together was an idiot. I guess I've just grown to love the 1.8t and lemmiwinks.

I'm going to go crawl back in my VW corner now.

Okay, let me get this straight, you intentionally purchased heavyslut stupid coupes powered by dinky 1.6 liter four cylinders and bitch about speed? Uhm,

There is a reason why I'm a big fan of a 2.0 in a gutted CRX.

people want technology and they want it now, they dont care if its been tested enough to make it reliable. you can blame those EPA ***** too.
newer VW owners are just bitches anyways, trying to seem upper class buying a german car but bitch when maintenece is expensive and they arent reliable as a cheaper Jap car.

What's your point? My VW has 62K on the clock, and I haven't had one thing go wrong with it. Nothing, not even the typical VW ----. Not one burned out light, bad MAF sensor, no smoke, nothing. And I wail on that poor bitch. I've had 2 new hondas, and this "piece of crap VW" has been more reliable and much quicker than either one of the hondas. I'm getting over 210 whp 230 wtq (mustang dyno) on stock internals/turbo/tranny. I prefer VW's, but Hondas are great too.

I guess what I'm saying is, who cares if you "knew a guy"?
I care because this isn't a "typical" car problem. I had never heard of doors which would pop open on their own AND the shop he went to said it was a normal problem w/ that car. There are some things I would consider more serious than others and passenger doors which pop open on their own at would be one of those things which is more serious.

Don't get pissed at me if VWs are POS.

No one was bitching about speed... Least of all me. I believe i said it was a blast to track. The point of my post was to illustrate that I have indeed owned pre 01 Honda's, and was left wanting. As far as my VW goes, I got it at auction, well actually pre auction because I work for the auction yard for less than 5K. I'm a huge fan of the b18b/14g in my crx... but it doesn't have all the creature comforts that the VW has....

While it is faster than the VW, I don't have heated leathers, a working sunroof, and most importantly, i have severe police attention. For ***** sake, I own a CRX too. I'm plastered, it's 7.58, and I can't coherently piece together an argument.

Cliffs notes: I love VW's more than I love honda's. However, I love them both. Sailor Jerry's rum ftw.

you are comparing cars that are a decade apart. and for your knowledge, JDM/EDM EF's had heated seats, power everything, and sun roofs. same deal as the MK2's, they had it over seas but not everything was availible here



find me a newer car that doesnt have the options your MK4 has and it'll prob be a suzuki or a chevy aveo. i worked at a dealer for 3 years and now all about mk4's and thier issues. its great to try and roll up your window and have it fall back down into the door, bad coils on just about every 1.8t ever made(audi, skoda, vw, etc), armrest console clips breaking, seat heaters melting/burning the seats, shitty cup holder placement dripping condensation on the radio, rear pads at 15k miles, water leaks from every place possible.
i could make a list 3 pages long of COMMON EVERYDAY problems that MK4's have, i sold the same parts day in and day out for issues that shouldnt have been happening in the frst place and VW did nothing, they could have at least supereced to a newer/improved part but they didnt. the used shitty part manufactures to build parts for an overly comlicated car to save them dough and rape the owners.

if i was an emo bitch mk4 owner i'd want to cut my wrists too


edit: its also very sad that a factory turbo hatchback with thousands in mods cant run better than a high 14, my bolt on LS EF does better than that

Did you read anything I wrote? Anything at all? I haven't had ONE SINGLE PROBLEM with my MKIV. And as far as thousands in mods, I ran a 13.7 (which I know isn't fast here), with a little over 6K total (including the car).

Sounds like a buzzy ignorant looking rice ride.

My daily for the last three years has been a high mileage 89 DX hatch, I get zero police attention.
