how reliable are pre-owned golf 1.8t's?

just curious how they are doing in the marketplace after some time to go out to seed.

It's a VW.

It will also be parked in the street and can't be too "desirable."

I tell you, a Sabaru is the way to go.

What about an older e46xiT? They're likely in the teens by now, and the wagon will give you some versatility (perhaps even the ski snood through the seats). Plus, you'll get the BMW plushness you've come to expect. It's no rocket, but it's a solid driver.

I'm sure I'd appreciate the steering feel, seats & ride of the bmws. How good are the awd systems of the xi's? I was always under the impression that audi & subaru got it right.

The early system is pretty rudimentary but effective.
