<![CDATA[I need a vote!!]]>Okay here's the deal. I have an 01 vw Jetta glx vr6. Here's basically the Craigslist ad:

I am selling my beloved Volkswagen Jetta VR6. I am the third owner, and I'm trying to move back to another BMW. I bought this car with the intentions to keep it for a very long time, but I was steered towards a BMW again by my friend. This car is beautiful, and in perfect working condition. Many MANY things have been replaced with the intentions of keeping the car for a VERY long time. Car has 137,000 miles.

Good

Pros:

Relatively quick

The ladies like it

Best sounded car evarrrr

Paint is basically perfect

No rust

I replaced about everything within the 10k I put on it.

Cons:

WRONG WHEEL DRIVE

Least reliable car I've driven. Might have fixed that though

So. Would you guys keep it for a dd? Or sell it for a e3(0/4/6) or e46 maybe.

You realize if you wanna go do track days/drift days. You cannot build your own roll cage. unless you're welds are really good..

2 door coupe. you're an idiot bandwagoneer if you think it's 2 door sedan. I don't give a shit what anyone says. If it's 2 doors, it's a coupe.

If I have a miller tig welder, and ample amount of skill, my welds are going to be good sir ;)

Not quite sure what caused it, but it sure happened. Damn vw. I love this car. Everything about It really, just the damn wrong wheel drive.

Not gutted either. 4 point at best this year. Now that my welder is back at home I should make some sweet shit :)

Lets be honest here rowley.. If you're going to drive around in a gutted an caged E30 as your daily. Your body will hate you in a bout 2 years.

No one tracks a completely stock car. Sedans weigh more, and you can buy torsion bars, frame stiffening stuff if you wanna track it. Just saying.

Haha the 325is 2 door weights 10 pounds less. 2 door e30 is definitely not superior on the track. Less rigid, and once you cage it, it's a lot easier to get into the back.

I don't give a fuck who Nando is. Sounds like a crack head name

Also, this is what Nando from r3v said. He's a very respected moderator by the way.

"all E30s are sedans. Who do you think invented the sports sedan category? they didn't make a 3 series coupe until the E36."

Touring doesn't count by the way haha

In theory you get more torsional rigidity with a 4dr since the door area is smaller and you have a shorter unsupported distance for the roof and unibody.

If this thread derails into a war of coupe vs. sedan semantics I will ban you all.

So.. Don't tell me it isn't possible. All E30's are sedan's? Whut?

You can weld the doors for more structural rigidity, and I'm pretty sure they are more rigid stock? I think being able to put another set of tires in the back seat is bad ass. Also, drifting as a hobby is normally done on a budget right? Find me a decent s chassis for 500$

Actually it isn't. It's the sedan version of a E30, so track thing is not exactly ideal. And drifting? I'll argue that with you all day everyday. S-chassis will forever dominate that spectrum.. 😜
