wellif he "owned" meaing he no longer owns an alero for 5 years that must mean he has unloaded it in the past what 3-4 months? seemd a little unreasonable to me

No GA's with 5spds, not in the last 6 years i think.

and the 3400 engine (not the 3.4 DOHC) was used in lumina minivans in the early 90's

personally, i would look at toyota if you havent already. Pontiac isnt even part of the equation as far a im conserned. As for the VW, well basically they are cool cars and the 1.8t is pretty solid, but vw build quality is not that great. For the price, i personally dont think you are getting what you pay for with the gti. another thing is the dealer network is in serious need of a house cleaning. There are good dealers and some very very bad ones. Its not as bad as bmw but its not great either. there are more issues i have with vw's as well, but i think they are doing at least 1 thing well. TDI. nuff said.

not true the ecotec 4 cyl's in the late model GA's have 5spd

Gas Mileage wise, you can't lose with a tdi, my mom has a tdi bug and she can go 1200km on a tank, given she's the most conservative driver on the road. I personally would go with the GTI fuel economy isn't near as good but it's still pretty respecatable and the car has go. Grand Am's have alot of problems contrary to post whoring t3rry's belief's my old boss had to sell his 2001 Grand Am last year because it was always breaking down. can't vouch for all Grand Am's just repeating what i've seen and it looks like many others share my views.

read the thread starting posts, he's not asking for people to say "this one" "no that one" if he wanted that he would have got a poll, he wants reasons


and Jabroni, is that a pasta?

[ZorroAMG]

Ok reason #1 : German engineering
#2 : Actually LOOKS good
#3 : Actually handles WELL
#4 : It is not domestic
#5 : It won't be worthless in 5 yrs
#6 : Old people don't drive GTI's


Shall I go on?


And YES T3rry, Jabroni is a pasta, you remind me of it.

If gas mileage is a concern, the Golf can't be beat, especially with the TDI. Don't know enough about the GTI, but typically vw's engines are great for fuel.

zorros comment has redeemed the thread!!

lol, terry, u ever wonder why every likes to flame u? or are u a part of honkeybronx's ignoramus club?

aaanyway, here are my thoughts on the cars. if u are set on either one of the 2 cars, the gti is definitely a better car. first off, its a tuner car. the grand am is a grand ma car. the gti was designed to be a small pocketrocket thats fast enough to be fun, it has suspension tuned to be fun, its got decent resale, it is decent on gas, and its got a good aftermarket. the ga is probably as fast, but it guzzles gas, its ugly, mutant monkeys tuned the suspension, its ugly, it has no resale value, old people drive it, its ugly, and it has that legendary american build quality.

well i guess it depends how u define build quality. vdubs always have very solid interiors, they dont use mcdicks styrofoam to make the panels, the engines are tough as low quality steaks, and the doors have that awesome way of closing. with that said, ive noticed that older vdubs always have a ton of little things that are breaking or dying, like random switches wearing out, relays dying, taillights burning out (i cant count how many euro cars ive seen on the road with a burnt out left tail light), or just stupid stuff like that. i wouldnt say vws are built poorly, but they sure need a lot of work to keep them mint.

DOHC 3.4

Also in lumina Z34s, monte carlos and grand prix GTPs.

Good engines if you're a home mechanic, kinda like the quad 4s.

Even though this is none of my business, I think I remember from my old 'wrestling watching' days when the Rock would call everybody a jabroni.

I'm pretty sure a jabronia is a Native Indians Asshole. I guess it's a little racist, it's definetely not my first resort insult

hmm so true about the old VW's cuz they just drain your wallet, and grand am's damn i dont know about those either hmmmmm yea a pontiac is a pontiac and you cant change that, but one mroe is wrong see if nissan is for nismo's, then honda must be for homo's, stick with the one and true nissan!
^^^^^^^ i just felt like saying that go with the VW, its german it wont break, if it does though it'll get cost, but chance are that it wont, thats your best bet,a nd its got class with it also
