So im finally tired of throwing money into my shitbox.
I've been looking around for lightly used newer cars and ive had my eye on the mk7 golf tsi.
It's already got a turbo so it's easy to get cheap power, and it has a nice interior(im coming from an 02 lancer so anything is nice to me thats new pretty much) and comes it a stick too.
I've seen them going for 13k-15k with sub 35k miles. give me honest opinions

lel
so your going to go from one money pit to another money pit... good idea.
normal maintenance costs dont compare to what ive done on the lancer. plus I can do all the work myself
>I can do all the work myself
you can try. but the parts will cost you (if you live in NA)
also with a turbo: you may need high octane gas and it WILL eventually shit the bed. its like the money pit that your willingly accepting.
Try them out first to see if you like it. Golf is a decent, well-rounded DD car.
you can get an mk7 gti for the same price
unless you want something cheaper to insure and slightly better on gas then sure
I legit thought the mk7 was your shitbox.
>going from one shitbox money pit to another shitbox money pit
It's designed to run on 87 with a slight loss of power. and eventually shitting the bed is okay with me as long as its after a good couple of years or something.
The parts aren't that much more than what they are for my lancer either. plus my lancer had virtually no aftermarket support like a golf.
No I cant find one for the same price, similar but not the same, plus with higher mileage.
And yeah insurance costs are a factor to me as insurance companies like to charge me out the ass.
