Well i cant seem to get my pics to upload
i ended up with a black 2008 VW GTI with an autobahn package. I love the way it drives. I will forever love my Celica and it will always be my first love and wouldnt even be moving onto a new car if it wasnt for the fact that it needs some TLC that I can not give it right now. So please keep ur negative comments to yourself i you dont like my choice -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

Thanks everyone. I really wanted a toyota really badly and looked at the 2008 Camry but they are all automatics. Someoen suggested at work I take a look at the VW's and once I drove the GTI that was it. I was hooked! Im hoping to sell the Celica to a local 5th gen celica owner

not trying to be negative, but I really didn't like how plain the rear end on those look. I love the front and I really like the sedan, but the look of the rear hatch kills it for me. Performance isn't too bad tho, I know the r32 does 0-60 in like 5.9, how does the gti do?

Nice choice but I personally couldn't bring myself to buy that car
It's fast but its fwd, I know the r32 is awd but it would be nice if they offered a awd version of the GTI. it looks ok, but for me its a little off. But looks are subjective and thats opinion. The dsg system is nice but the novelty of it wears off quickly. German cars are expensive to mod(trust me i know) and that being said a lot of money has to be thrown at the GTI to make it a performer. Still overall nice car and congrats -------------------- 2011 Spice Orange Mini Cooper

I didnt buy it for performance. I bought it mainly because I liked it and it was a nice car to drive. I wont be modding it anywhere near as what I did for the Celica. I will just tint and exhaust.
Im just happy to have a car in my name and start building my credit. -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
