5)   Germany by Ferdinand Porsche - built as a vehicle the average person in Germany could afford to own -as requested by then leader Adolf Hitler. Volkswagon translates into Volks=people wagon=wagen so Peoples wagen (or the peoples car)Google the "History of the VW"

No different than Henry Fords "Model T" which was a car for all the people because it was the first one that was produced on assembly lines so the costs were reduced as more automobiles were constructed. Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. He created a working assembly line(as cars before this time were made one at a time by a whole whack of inventors. - Xavwieztsky

Question 3
I put a different kind of intifreeze in my 2001 Passat than the manual states - should I be...?...  ...worried or have it fixed?
It was only a few cups worth. I usually take it to the dealership for everything, but didn't want to have a huge bill over it! THANKS!

Answers
1)   I would drain and flush the system. You can buy the antifreeze at a part store it's made by Pentision. - uthockey32

2)   A few years ago there was some concern about certain kinds of antifreeze being kinda corrosive on aluminum. So a lot of owner's manuals had warnings about using anything other than XXXX Co. antifreeze.


I don't know for sure but now that almost every car has aluminum parts, all the antifreezes are compatible with aluminum.


So I would not worry about it. - Jill

3)   Having the system full of the wrong kind of coolant isn't as bad as mixing the coolants, actually. - Richard R

4)   save yourself money buy 50/50 mix of antifreeze at walmart 5 bucks a gallon drain old from drain valve at bottom of radiator it should hold a gallon your done drive it around block let cool check level in radiator i have 15 years ex my e mail is lyle.d@juno .com if you need anything - Linnaea

5)   The radiator is pretty big, and you only diluted the antifreeze that was in there. The importaint part of putting in the type recommended by Volkswagen is the anti-corrosion quality of the mixture. You still have that. If you have never had the coolant changed, or you think it might be leaking, it would be a good idea to have them change it next time in, and test the coolant system while they are at it. I have a 2001 1.8 Turbo myself, with 115,000 miles on it, but have never had to add coolant myself. I always go to VW for service just because they know the car so well.
If you have a sunroof, have them check the drains before Winter starts. If they plug, you can get water in the passenger compartment. I had enough to do electronics damage. - Charmian

Question 4
2005 vs. 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI?...  I am looking to purchase either a 2005 or 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI and I am having trouble which year to purchase, considering 2006 marked the redesign of the Jetta line. I much prefer the exterior design of the 2005, but the interior of the 2006 is far superior.

I am wondering which year will be more reliable, and if insurance jumped significantly between the two years. Also, how much does the driving experience differ between the two cars (manual versions only), considering the 2006 has the new 2.0T vs a VR6?

Thank you for your input!

Answers
1)   The 2004.5-2005 Jetta GLI had the 1.8T motor and 6-speed 02M manual transmission as the only available configuration. The 2002-2004 GLI came with the new 24V VR6 motor you mentioned. Style always comes down to personal opinion, I prefer the Recaro seats and brushed aluminum trim found in the interior of the 2005, as well as the nice 18" BBS wheels that came standard. In stock form, the 2006 is going to have a little more power, and better handling, thanks mainly to the newly redesigned independent rear suspension. Brakes are the same on both cars. Check with your personal insurance provider for the price difference, but I would think they'd be very similar. Overall, I'd pick the 2005 because of the exclusivity of the GLI option package that year. It's a very sharp looking car. - gti_4cefed4

2)   If you are buying used car. don't buy german car. They are easy to break down and their parts are expensive to buy. Try Honda civic si or Subaru Impressa or Mazda speed3 - Caleb

3)   2006 has more power,however is expansive on insurance.So,it is up to what is your concern?For the situation like yours,I would like to suggest you get as much resource as you can before you make your mind,the resource here  autoinsurancepro.info  help me a lot when I met this sort of problem before. - ELIZABETH J

4)   You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here - carquotes.sinfree.net - Clay
