I just hope they treat it better than the original e golf.

I agree. I’m thinking 250 would be more than enough. They could keep numbers similar to the mk8 and it would be plenty fast. Although I suspect they will want it to be slightly faster than the mk8.

Jokes on you I’ll be the 0.1% that wait till before the switch 3 to buy.

I guess the only real argument is that “acting in their own self interest” is quite selfish and moderately evil. So I guess it comes down to the context of the selfishness that’s being exhibited. I feel like there is much more room for interpretation there.

No idea who to credit, stole it off of Reddit months ago.

Idk, B-Rad is what I always use.

The wikipedia article!

And I was able to use the listed sources at the bottom for more info.

Yearly on my mustang. Never put more than 5k miles a year on it. Gti gets it every 10k, or yearly. Might drop the interval now that it’s mostly city driving.

According to autoblog it’s actually smaller than the previous Gen.

Just to be clear, this one is not my photo. It’s a stock one I swiped off bring a trailer since this one was so clean.

There are quite a few parts that just aren’t available for the r32 specifically like bumper covers and window trim. It makes cars in good condition go for stupid money, and junk cars still desirable. The Humble Mechanic on YouTube has a fair few videos on the R32.

Ah I must have been one of the only people that liked that styling haha.

Thanks for pointing that out! That was quite a read!

Good eye. I think you’re right. It’s all the same chassis so they all bolt up.

That would be before I paid any mind to GM in general. Which is funny since my whole youth was spent driving 1500’s.

I agree. I’d love to get a first gen but the ones I come across are all clapped out. I need that torque steer!

It’s definitely a looker. I’ll admit, I didn’t know much about them till Kaufman made his for pikes peak.

I went German after my protege. I’m hoping the same as you and I’ll be back. Although I’ll be one of the boring people with a cx50 soon enough…

I’m sorry to hear that. He was definitely one of the few out there.

But yea I agree with your argument against the dealer. They’re just hoping you go away. If you’re loud and persistent enough it should be fixed by then. Especially if your adjuster starts to flex their legal department.

It’s quite possible the dealer will sub contract it out if they do take the repair job.

In the end dealers exist to make money. Which is unfortunate for us since finding a great mechanic that puts your needs and service over hitting you with the biggest invoice they can is difficult these days.

Being a mechanic just doesn’t pay great. We’re seeing lots of great techs leave the field for other things because of the low pay and terrible treatment. If the dealer treats you bad, imagine working there.

But to get back to your question, have you contacted Hyundai corporate? If you give them all the pertinent details there might be someone there that cares enough to light a fire under the dealers ass.

This is about the response that can be expected unfortunately. Lots of dealers don’t even like touching accessories from the manufacturer. They just want easy stuff.
