I am a VW mechanic. But as far as I am concerned they f'ing suck. Yea the diesel can do 200k plus easy and the same for the others if they are taken care of. However my 81 Camaro ran well over 350k. All these 4 cyl. dubs of equivelent year(to present) to my 01 SS run twice the rpms as my car at the same speeds. As far as same power...Gti 4cyl. turbo 200 HP. and I highly doubt at the wheel. And I dont get the why do you need a muscle car makin all that noise. Every gti i see has a huge ol' fart pipe. Plus the maintenence on VW is through the roof. 60k Timing belts are not cheap all the parts are ridiculous. Dont get me wrong now they can be quick and fun to drive but just not on the same level comparetively. Not without a ton of performance stuffs. I would own one if I could afford one but not at the sacrifice of my car. OOOHHH! I forgot German engineering.... SUX. Worse than my car as far as repairing stuffs. If you have a tran prob. forget rebuilding just save your pennies and buy a new one. We don't even tear into them VW doesnt like that. lol
