It seems hard to believe, but J.D. Power has ranked Volkswagen 6th in its new car/12-month reliability rankings among a field of 32 brands. The devil's in the details, of course, and the linked article isn't specific enough regarding individual cars/models, etc., to know what or where the...

The link below is a video discussion of the 2019 GTIs now available in Australia. I would have simply added this video link to the prior Australian GTI thread, but that thread quickly turned into yet another four-page food-fight concerning the merits/demerits of MTs vs DSGs, and I thought the...

Two Golf TCRs head the field for the start of the 1st heat. They then manage to take each other out when neither will back off for the first turn. (Fast forward to 20:18). https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=976&v=PNDPVUU6U-A

While it doesn't appear that the board is exactly chock-a-block with TCR (Touring Class Racing) enthusiasts, for those who are interested in VW's (and Audi's) participation in the new series in the United States, this weekend (3/16/18) saw the running of the second race of the series in Sebring...

I hope I'm not offending the Mk7 board administrators by posting this link here in the General Discussion section in addition to the Tracking/Autocross section, but frankly I was stunned to see that VOA even had a press release on the Daytona race, and thought it might be of, well, general...

I suspect it ain't stock! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWSfzCfGJg&feature=youtu.be

Volkswagen Motorsport doesn't get nearly enough recognition in this country (USA) for its contributions to the sport. VOA could learn a lot from these guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHDFwuN0-Ro

OK, let me acknowledge upfront that I know from nothing about Golf GTI battery maintenance and re-charging. (Hondas, yes; VW Golfs, no.) I weaned myself off air- and water-cooled V-dubs in the late '80s, but after reading Georg Kacher's raving about the M7.5 in the March issue of CAR, I decided...
