My Mexican made VW Golf is great
Not sure if it really applies but we bought a mkV gti. All German when we heard future VWs were going to Mexico. We owned it 9 years and so many issues. My mom bought 2013 Mexican Jetta and had no issues so it made me wonder. We traded in out 2008 MKV for MKVII gti made in Mexico. No issues after 13 months. Fit and finish is the same as the German one and my German car buff best friend agreed. He couldn't tell it wasn't German. In the past I would be apprehensive but the reality is German built stuff is not really that reliable anymore. I would prefer German one for ED but if there were savings involved might be ok with Gerxican BMW. Love the Mexican GTI

Whatever you do, don't assume it's gender.

I still drive my MKV as a daily. It's been an outstanding 2nd vehicle. Both purchased new. |

I think people will be OK with a Mexican made BMW. After 35 years of owning German cars, I no longer see made in Germany the same way as I used to. I know the GTI is not for those looking at 3 series cars but man....what an amazing car for the money. There's a reason Jeremy Clarkson owns one....so do many of the guys I run into at Cars and Coffee with 911s and exotics, we get to talking and a lot of them have a GTI as a daily driver too. Here are my two GTIs...the VW GTI and the BMW GTI which is what Clarkson called the 1M....the poor man's BMW that gives the big dogs a run for their money. As far as the new 3 series goes I am happy they will offer ED...I love my 4 door 330i ZHP and have considered a new 4 door that drives well and it sounds very positive....I am just struggling with no manual option.... I already have a manual M car so maybe it will be OK. The dual clutch in the GTI is excellent but once the quick-shift amazement wears off, it's still not as enjoyable as the manual. Hope to test drive one soon and see if they are really back with the 3 series! |
