    OH so close but they don't re-badge it when it hits US soil.. Also I'm pretty sure they stopped selling VW Eurovans (did some wiki research and it was 2003 they last sold it here) Mines a 2005 :)

    I've notice that too, it seems a little rough like you could feel every small bump on the road.

    2010 GMC Terrain

    Pros- my realistic dream car, tons of great features, lots of room, great gas mileage for an SUV (averages 21 mpg combined).

    Cons- 4 cylinder model (so not for the sports car type), sounds like a toy car when reversing, bought it brand new just after christmas and had to get it serviced because of a defective a/c compressor 3 months later.

    '97 Acura TL

    Pros: still reliable, great handling, pretty fast (vtec!), and still really good on gas mileage.

    Cons: high miles (227k), seats get easily damaged, parts are hard to find, have had to replace almost the whole cooling system in the past year (radiator, hoses, water pump, etc)

    I've been trying to sell it lately to buy a new truck, but the miles is the only thing that scares potential buyers away. They like it at first, but as soon as they learn how many miles it has, they instantly say "No thank you!!!"

    2003 Nissan Skyline (which is basically an Infiniti G30). It's paid for, it has good pickup and still has low miles.
