One other idea is to change focus and look for a 2009-2012 car from $26-30k. There are not as many out there but this era got a big improvement in reliability with a redesigned motor that eliminates the IMS and includes DFI. The interior is further refined as well. The base 2.9L car matches performance of the earlier "S" models.

Fanguy......

Volkswagen actually spelled it "fahrvergnügen" rather than "farfegnugen" in their advertising campaign. And, being proper Germans, they used an umlaut over the "u".

Auf wiedersehen


Here's some extra information for your enjoyment: "Fahrvergnügen" means "driving enjoyment" in English (from fahren, "to drive," and vergnügen, "enjoyment"). The term itself is not standard German but a neologism (compound noun) created especially for Volkswagen's advertising campaign. One of the tag lines incorporating the word was: "Fahrvergnügen: It's what makes a car a Volkswagen".
