neither can I.. I'm just doing some basic research right now to find out what's out there... I was a JDM whore before with all my honda cars, so I'll probably go with that route.. just worried about warranty in this case cuz I will be driving the car a lot

personally I opted for no extra warranty just the basic three year standard warranty, I have no plans to mod the engine but the suspension had to be improved and toyota don't offer anything that suited my desires

I say go for it, get the basic options you want and mod the shit out of it and drive the shit out of it

so of the stuff I listed up top what would you consider "basic"? if I didn't care about warranty I wouldn't get the springs FOR SURE (probably won't anyways) or the Borla... I heard it's not even cat-back... the CF trim looks alright though... maybe from all my boy-ricer days... the interior mirror and arm rest are nice features I'd get anyways...

extra warranty is expensive........ hopefully in 3 years I can get my Cooper S or R32 or whatever's out there.. who knows where my life will be

I wouldn't go for the extra warranty or any of the parts you have listed from the dealer. You can get an axle back for under 300. and install yourself, springs for 117. or just go ahead and get coils for 850. or so and then just whatever else you want to do.

I say get the basic package you want as in. If you want a radio and rear wiper get the convenience or if you want cold weather shop for that or just a basic car with no stereo or wiper or anything and add it all yourself.

I'll never by another VW unless they introduce the Polo to the states and make some serious marketing changes. I bought this car because it is not luxury and I can tweak it to fit my standards and it's eco. You guys have some options we don't have so buy your canvas and have at it.
