Mga social climber na bumili nito for the status. Like my girlfriend's brother. Nagka entry level Santana lang, yumabang na. One time papunta kami sa BF para kumain. Nilagpasan lang yung mga guard house. Sabi ko dapat nag iwan tayo ng ID. Sabi niya sakin, yung Volkswagen badge na daw yung ID. Ayun, pag dating sa second guard pinabalik. Napakalayo at traffic pa. Hassle. :belat:

Well, can you tell him that VW is not a luxury brand? Especially the Santana.. Baka first time magka car!

I belong to that minority also now :) . I now own a 2017 Jetta 1.4TSI, a 2 door 1999 golf 1.9TDI, and just bought a not running 1997 VW Caravelle VR6 for just Php50k. Another one to restore overhaul ng tranny kailangan. Parts? Not a problem if you know where to get it outside of Pinas. May mga VW enthusiast who knows how to fix them.

Ahehe I saw others reply about the number of cars in the road but I have to say sorry to them owning a car is not about paramihan sa kalsada. To me it is about the driving experience. Peace!

PM me sir or join the JCP club :). I actually supply VW (and other euro cars) parts to the club and some friends shop :). I’m getting the parts directly from a supplier in Germany :).

Haven’t checked yet but I’m sure madami yan from China. Even sa alibaba may nakikita ako Polo parts :)

Scrutinized the GTS Wagon Variant in MIAS. Not bad for a china made car. feels upscale. Though a test drive will reveal if its really well built.

Still VW sir. I actually had a look at the underchassis and it has a resemblance of the golf mk4 platform :)

Does it produce the trademark European thud when you close the door?
