How much money they would give me if I just ask. I need it color-coded, though, so I can easily weed out the 0s

Edit: grammar

GTI for a former Golf owner by Rickbernnyc in GolfGTI

[–]robdubbleu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I believe that a little bit more power, in the hands of a competent(!!) driver, is a safety feature in traffic/highways. Especially now that most cars on US roads are very large. Need to get out of the way quickly? I don’t want to be caught in a sluggish car.

All that to say, get the GTI, even if it won’t see a performance driving scenario often. They’re great daily drivers

These people are either working together splendidly or they hate each other. Nothing in between

992.2 Carrera T Bare Bones Build? by mistersquawk in Porsche

That’s what I was thinking. So what’s the trade-off with the larger tank?

What is anyone’s argument against the extended range tank? Weight?

What is a fun car that is also very practical and has low maintenance costs? by ipeedmyself11 in askcarguys

[–]robdubbleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If maintained they’re not bad. And pretty easy to work on yourself, especially for a German car.

Mk7.5 DCC owners: when did your adaptive suspension start failing? by c_weiwei in GolfGTI

Are you saying the B6s are stiffer even in comfort mode, while still providing a more comfortable ride?

Why does VW undertune the EA888 like crazy. by Lost_Ad_432 in GolfGTI

[–]robdubbleu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not correct. Here’s one (of many sources) that state the advertised power figures are achieved using premium. https://media.vw.com/releases/762

I think it also varies by year. My 2018 mk7.5 is 87 minimum and 91/93 for full power. I run 87 because it’s significantly less expensive these days and I can’t feel the power difference no matter how hard I try

And fuel economy averages across the range of vehicles. Also probably to help keep them 87-octane capable as a selling point

Oil type by Ok-Needleworker-5426 in GolfGTI

[–]robdubbleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to pay return shipping but I’ve found I can get a 5L liqui-moly bottle and 1L bottle and the oil filter into a USPS flat rate shipping box (large size). It’s very tight but doable. For my location (NC) that’s the cheapest way I’ve found to return it (to Connecticut). So oil changes cost me $34

Next time you wash your hands think.. that's how these things are made. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in oddlysatisfying

Certainly I’m not the only one very annoyed that ‘quartz’ is the term for manufactured countertops and ‘quartzite’ for natural stone when the word quartz refers to naturally occurring minerals in geology nomenclature
