most consumers look at cars in a sex appeal/ power appeal. Since I work on cars I look at how easy it is to repair something if it breaks. VW/Audi/Benz are not easy cars to work on and they do have a lot of stupid designs. They just have a lot of unnecessary parts under the hood.

- what you think?
I so love the GTI...
I love the 2 door version... Plus, since you dont have kids, enjoy the 2 dr..
:boobies: &= :idb:
My MK4 weights 2790 (03 GTI). It does have a carbon fiber hood though, although im sure it doesn't make that much difference. That is tested at my work that has a weigh station.
what professional qualifications do you have that allows you to pass off such statements as facts?
..WHAT?!what professional qualifications do you have that allows you to pass off such statements as facts?
It is my personal opinion. We just yanked a 1.8T out of a '00 Golf. They had more useless sh*t on that engine than I have ever seen. They would have multiple hoses/lines from one part to another. Why did they have SO many? Why not just one?
What it seems is, they create these engines on a new desgin. The test it and find MULTIPLE things wrong with it. So they have to add all this other garbage to make it run right.
Manufacturers need to do what honda does, get input from their top techs.
"What should we do here?"
"How can we clean this up?"
"We want this, to fit that while being able to be easily worked on, suggestions?"
etc...
Have you ever worked on cars? Like, multiple cars, not just your own. Honda has some of the best setups ever. See, the engineers dont think when creating or putting parts on a car. We get cars in where a simple O2 is in the tightest possible location and they had an infinite amount of space everywhere else.
CLIFFS-what I am trying to say is, they over engineer a lot of items, not just VW, Ford does it, Jag, Audi, etc...

ok good, we needed that clarification bc from your original post you made it sound as if were a fact
No, if i was a VW engineer and I KNEW that a lot of those parts were unncessary then I could make that claim. Do I feel as if they are? OHHHH YEA!ok good, we needed that clarification bc from your original post you made it sound as if were a fact
Here's another example:
'04 VW Beetle in my shop right now. Just needs a battery. Any other car it'd take about 5 minutes....Not on a VW. It's just like....WHy did they cram in into the engine bay if they didnt have room? Relocat it to the trunk like BMW's do. They just dont think.
