Find of the Day: 2011 Jetta 2.5

For all the attention that the Golf family gets, the Jetta is the actual workhorse in the Volkswagen North America family and this simultaneously stylish and murderously intimidating 2011 model is prime example of why.

Although the Golf is VW’s darling, the Jetta outsells it regularly in North America, thanks to our taste for sedans and our skepticism of hatch backs. This Jetta, being sold by forum user ST3VEN, does what all Jettas do, and quietly goes about the business of being, and looking, excellent.

Sure, the wheels are fitted, the body is lowered, and its body kit kisses the asphalt, but thanks to its simple combination of colors it manages to remain almost understated.

Under the hood it has Volkswagen’s 2.5-liter inline 5 with cold air intake and an AWE cat back exhaust, but that’s about it for engine mods. Still, though, be honest, who needs gobs of power in a car this low? And as a result of the minimal engine mods, the car should be as reliable as a stock Jetta.

As for the ride, the Jetta has V2 air management, a Votex lip kit all around, and rolls on AG 18×9 wheels.

For sale in northern New Jersey, you can pick it up for $15,000.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...
