Now I've been curious for a while as to which is the most popular model users have on here. In a poll you can only have 10 options so I've added the popular models talked about on here, sorry if I missed your model but you can add a comment saying which model it is. If you have more that one model you can click more but don't go mad.
if you click my banner in my sig.. you would get all its/mine build info, pics so on..
they are vw rabbits firewall forward.. suspention, brakes, engine/trans.. most all were auto.. they made 3 versions.. a short one the electric kurbwatt is based off of.. 53 of them.. and there is one in my info on driiive.. that i gotta drive even.. then 100ish of them had a leaf spring rear suspention.. the originals used b1 dasher/passat rear beams and coils..(narrower traqck then rabbit to have sliding doors as they cover the rear tires) but i think vw ran out.. so they went to the leaf set up (#337 i think is the first of low floors of ~500 made.. but i think the kurbwatts, and 25 ford tempo ones fall in the 500#).. which gives room to stand in the back.. mine is that version..
so think all aluminum vw rabbit/golf... flat glass that can be cut to size, aluminum sheet riveted in place with angle and such.. vw diesel power.. the only concern would be front suspention.. but it was used till 2009 in south africa.. so imo.. a llv (long life vehicle) that a guy with my skillz can drive till dead.. nothing will ever be unable to resolve.. and i will not lie.. its not a great car.. but its so good at so much.. nothing on market can touch it
also.. the jackrabbit.. its one of 23 kits made.. this one has never been finished (no hole ever cut for pedals.. so i plan to rhd it too) so lacks a vin# even.. reason it sits.. unable to find a proper way to get it a vin# due to new kit car rules put in place in the 2000s.. but its info is also in my driiive account.. think tube frame rabbit in fiberglass..
I drive a 04 jetta tdi 5spd w/ bew, 137k km. Looking around for a second vehicle last year I can across a 04 jetta gls auto w/ bev, 203k km. Changed the tcc solenoid and now I have twins in the driveway.
2013 Passat TDI .. Just love my car runs great do mostly Highway klm's ... I would of thought more Golfs or Passat TDI rather than Jetta/Bora .. well must be cost i would think...
I switch back-and-forth between a 2000 Jetta ALH, and 88 Toyota pick up with a 99 Jetta ALH in it. Wife drives 06 Jetta BRM. The 06 Jetta has a six speed automatic, more fun to drive, and more creature comforts. The ALH in the Toyota pick up has 350,000 miles on it. The ALH in the 2000 Jetta has 296,000 miles. The 06 Jetta has 233,000 miles on it.
I’ve got audi A3 TDI 2015 Sedan with 600,000 km The First I get thousand kilometers to every $40 of gas I put in it’s an amazing car I will never sell it can’t wait to hit 1,000,000 km
2010 Toyota Tacoma. I would recommend it, not a single issue since I got it, but I really don't drive it much.
Looking for a second vehicle, probably a sedan, so browsing this thread with interest.
New ride. 2015 Q5 TDI Prem+. Hitch, upgraded sound, LED lights inside, and upgrade white/yellow fogs. This is now my 4th TDI. Love being on the dark side.
Recently got my first diesel, a 2005 passat with 1.9 engine
