The funny thing about this thread is that it is starting to turn into a 'whats your dream car' thread again. The starter wanted to know what car we are going to be buying. The thread starter is obviously going to be buying that chrysler (and for many reasons I have a bad taste in my mouth with them).

Read what this thread is about and dont post your dream cars. I take for granted how 'dee dee dee' some people on this site can be.

Im really buying a VW. Used, but its going to happen.

If you can save up a few hundred more.. thats all it would take to buy and have one installed.

Or else get an FM/cassette adaptor for your mp3 player?

its under teh "Gas consumption, emissions, and mileage" section in the specs

Ill be getting something AWD, spacious, and sporty.

Im looking towards WRX wagon right now or the STI wagon if it hits US.

we shall see. although VW GTI is pretty coo.

So many options though. Ill be more serious in about 6 months when I am back home in Washington and going to need a car for work.

*keeps dreaming*

M3 or S4, still can't decide.

If you get a 99 or later (may vary in some models) VW with a radio that supports a cd changer (I believe most do), then I recommend a Phatnoise. Its a Linux computer that plugs in like a cd changer and works as an mp3 player. It comes with a 20GB cartrdige which travells to your computer, where you load the songs via USB then to your car where it plugs into the box. It works like a cd changer with infinite* discs. If 20gb isnt enough for you, you can buy cartridges up to 120GB.
(* - infinite may not refelct numbers greater than 1337)


Downsides of this product -
1. The radio face does not display artist/track, etc information. Im not sure if adding a third party head unit would change that or not.
2. There is an annoying text to speech voice that cannot be disabled and attempts to tell you the name of every "disc" you are on. I knew it was in trouble when it couldn't handle 'Gorillaz - Demon Days', but its garbling of 'Wighnomy Borthers and Robag Whrume - Remikks Potpurri' was attrocious.


In all, this box cost me $150 dollars and was basically plug and play installation with the accompnaying $10 mounting kit. Thats about the price I had planned to spend on a head unit for this car, so it seemed justified and I now have 20GB of music wherever i go.





On topic, I really would like to get an A*=8 for my next car, but Id settle for an a6..
a8:

My next car wil probably be a prius, or some other type of hybrid.
