According to Grunitz, Volkswagen’s first electric GTI will be “a real go kart” to drive. He’s already driven a prototype, claiming, “It’s really amazing.”

You can see the concept pulls design features from VW’s classic GTI models. However, the company promises new tech will enable even more control and handling for that “go kart” like feel.

Where I live the roads get salted all winter. It’s not uncommon unfortunately for significant portions of cars to be rusted out by that point.

Same. Salt and sand from late November to mid March around here. Used to start earlier, but climate change has pushed that back a bit. Still, most rust repair I’ve had to do on a car is a fender, muffler, and headers. So I don’t buy it as a reason to let a car go at 150k. You should easily get another 50-150k out of a decent car.
