I ended up trading in the 318ti for a low miles 2012 Turbo Beetle. I got fairly scathed in the deal too. OTOH I'm really liking this Bug that goes like STINK! VWs and particularly the Beetles have sunk in value lately, due to the Diesel scandle I suspect, so now is a good time to get one for allot less than you'd expect.
