Today's UCOTD is an Imola Yellow 2003 Volkswagen GTI 20th Anniversary asking $6,750.

This Ohio-based car has 130K miles and a manual transmission, plus a 1.8-liter turbo.

Mods include a high-flow cat, short-throw shifter, and Pioneer audio.

It also sounds like the car has been well maintained, though the body is showing its age -- there is some sagging cloth inside and a little bit of exterior rust.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

No MKIV VW product is worth the pain and effort. The were heavy and slow when they were new. Once you get past the failed interior components, failed window regulators and the host of mechanical problems, you still have a heavy and slow car.

ToolGuy I am not the President. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. is the President. I don't second-guess his decisions. I stay in my lane.The President does second-guess my every move. This is right and proper. The President's lane is Every Lane.(How can government fix all the problems in the world with all of you resisting? Ignorance is strength.)
ToolGuy 30% better fuel economy -- how long until this innovation makes it to the production vehicles?
CEastwood I suspect the influence of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo here . Not a big fan of Biden's cabinet , but this woman has redefined the position to protect American technology and create jobs here .
Kcflyer Joe also said don't trust the vaccine, until he was installed, then not only was the vaccine safe but if you didn't take it you were unpatriotic and if you happened to be in the military or government service you got fired. So simple idea, don't trust anything Biden says.
28-Cars-Later Let's review Ol' Joe's earlier thoughts on the matterTrump doesn’t get the basics. He thinks his tariffs are being paid by China. Any freshman econ student could tell you that the American people are paying his tariffs.The cashiers at Target see what’s going on – they know more about economics than Trump. #TeamJoe 1:59 PM · Jun 11, 2019I think the cashiers may also know more about managing the presidency too Joe. What is it you do again?
