I had this same problem with my drivers window a few months ago....happened a few times but hasn't re-occurred since....part way down wouldn't go back up...but could go down further. After a few minutes worked normally again. Interesting that others have had this exact problem.

Back in the day I used to tell friends of mine who bought a Prius..."perfectly good car for someone who might otherwise buy a Camry" ...now - for folks considering a Tesla or such I say "perfectly fine choice for someone who might otherwise be driving a Prius" Now Prius's and Teslas are fine...

Epically awesome!!!

I was looking for a pic of the GTI loaded out when I came across this. Speaking of hauling things....the "true" SUV:

The used car idea for a 2nd car commuter is a good recommendation IMO. Along those lines I would recommend a used Mk VI or MK VII GTI - available with MT and can be had fairly cheaply. They are fun and practical cars that can easily be made much more fun with suspension and power mods. Our MK...

Well you could always trade in the 5 for a (MT) 4...you would save on gas and still have a comfortable car that might also give you more opportunity for fun in mundane commuting situations. If you weren't adverse to SUVs and non MT (I concur BTW) I would suggest a Porsche Macaan might be a fun...

Mustangs are all good - for what they are - and can be great fun. So the Dark Horse - with full R compound and larger tires along with perhaps a slight HP and gearing edge gives it the win - well Kudos for that. However - as we all know - there is more to a good performance car than flat out...

At my shop to get oil & fluid changes. Note awesome Audi RS3 race car behind me

Agreed on all counts. I have a very nice LSD, traction delete (first thing I do after starting the car) and gobs of suspension upgrades. Its a little beast and always puts a smile on my face (except at times in the rain). I got so spoiled with my B5 Audi S4...its amazing I never got in a serious...

I never considered a Type-S (or Civic Type-R) due to FWD pure and simple. But I think they are both great drivers/performance cars. I already have a very capable GTI and in many ways thought they'd be too similar...same with the Golf-R. What I really wanted was a Boxster or Caymen but the wife...

VBak - you missed one...its hard to put miles on any given car (no matter how good) when you own 10 cars...

This is my feeling as well. Using the clutch I can always precisely control the car in any situation (without having to ride the brakes). I can creep along at the slowest of speeds....or launch when necessary. Using clutch and shifter always keeps me more engaged as a driver,,,,more aware....and...

Can't comment on the JB4 but I've been very happy with the extra oomph of the TapOut Tuning larger MAF intake (looks great too) and ported throttle body. Check out their site and claims for increased HP....which I can at least confirm via seat of the pants. Its (I hope) less of a warranty...

OK not my BW....and not even super recent pics...but they are on my screen saver rotation and I just got the urge to post them....

Yes its a 4 dr 6 speed MT. What a great - near perfect car. Compared to the standard 330i the ZHP package is more than just a sum of its parts. While its only 10hp? more it feels (and I think is) much quicker...it revs higher and quicker, steering and brakes are better. Its also lowered compared...

So true and I often find myself giving such advice to folks who express a desire for the highest performance car (on paper) with a prestige nameplate and such. I try to advise them to really consider how they get the most joy and satisfaction from a car and driving and maybe there are some...

I fully get it (even WRT my CT 4 V BW)....still it is a very fun car...just not the most fun car I've ever had (or still have). My BMW 330i ZHP has very similar performance to the US spec E36 M3 and its great fun to wail on even now. To some degree because its a lighter weight car with (great)...

Thats a very commendable and impressive rank. I know it often sounds cliche but I thank you for your service. Most folks outside the military probably don't appreciate what a big deal that is and what a superstar you were and are. I get it because of a special experience I had in my career...

I still have a MK VI GTI....a raucous beast of one...

At one point for several years early in my career I worked as an investigator on behalf of various Congressional committees. At one point in the mid 1980s I worked with postal inspectors (and later with EPA federal enforcement folks) where I could stop cargo planes at the airport as they were...
