There is a good feeling that comes with driving your Audi cars around town in Philadelphia. You get looks at stop lights and you simply appreciate the luxurious appeal that only Audi can provide. It’s also the best way to get to your favorite elite places throughout “The City of Brotherly Love.” Here are a few places where class and luxury abound in Philly.

Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
This upper class facility has a “discreet brick exterior” that goes up to a glass vaulted rooftop that extends another 150 feet. The views from the top are absolutely extraordinary, but the real fun happens every weekend because you can either catch a jazz band, the Philadelphia Orchestra or some other live event that you will enjoy.

Rodin Museum
For art lovers, the Rodin Museum offers some of the greatest works by the 19th century sculptor for which the museum is named. Some works include the ever-popular The Thinker, The Gates of Hell and Eternal Springtime, just to name a few. In addition, there are more than 120 works from this French icon.

These are just two of the elite facilities you can appreciate any time of the year in Philadelphia. When you arrive in your Audi cars, you know you will fit right in!

The new 2010 Volkswagen GTI really has a lot to offer. It has a sporty and aggressive look to it, with its 18 inch alloys and new honeycomb grill. The GTI offers a 6-speed automatic transmission, which gives you a smooth and comfortable ride. It comes with one touch window controls, as well as, heated mirrors, both of which come standard.

The new, four door Volkswagen GTI offers a really cool new standard feature that I have to point out. It has bluetooth controls located on the steering wheel to make it easy for drivers to establish a wireless connection while on the road. Features like this make the new GTI very practical, yet it’s still very sporty and quick off the start.

Taking proper care of your tires is the best way to get the most life out of them. But do you know what people are talking about when they use “tire lingo”? Here area some common terms you may run into when talking about tire care so you can care for them properly.

PSI – The abbreviation PSI stands for “pounds per square inch.” This is the way tire pressure is measured. When you use a tire gauge to measure pressure, it shows the number of PSI. The recommended PSI is also shown on the sidewall of most tires to take out the guesswork.

Valve Stem – This is probably the most well known part of the tire because it is the part you use to add air. It is the little rubber part that sticks through the wheel.

Sidewall – The sidewall of the tire is just that – the side part of the tire. This is the part where all of the information about the tire is listed, such as the PSI, the tire size, manufacturer and more.

Tread – This is the part that makes contact with the road. Keep an eye on the tire’s tread to ensure your car has enough traction in various driving conditions.

Learn the proper terms and methods for maintaining your tires because the better you take care of the tires on your Audi cars, the better they will take care of you.

When purchasing a new or used car, one of the main decisions you have to make concerns the warranty or warranties you want to purchase. At first, they might all sound like a good idea – you know, just to make sure you are covered. But some of them may be unnecessary depending on your specific situation. Here is a quick guide to some common auto warranties and what they are designed to cover.

Basic Warranty
These types of warranties generally cover everything on your vehicle that is not subject to wear and tear. Although these are typically standard warranties, be sure to read it before agreeing to it so there are no surprises in the future.

Extended Warranty
Extended warranties are not as common as basic warranties but they can still be helpful. If you plan on keeping your VW cars or any other brand for that matter longer than the basic warranty covers, you may want to consider an extended warranty. Just be sure to read the coverage and compare the cost before deciding if it’s worth it or not.

Luxury Auto Warranty
This type of warranty covers luxury items within the vehicle, such as a GPS, phone, DVD player and more. These are fine to have, but most items can be replaced for less than the cost of the warranty price over time.

Warranties are sometimes a good idea to consider when purchasing your new Porsche. But before agreeing to any warranty, consider the options and calculate the amount of money you could simply save in a bank account rather than paying towards a warranty. That way, if nothing bad ever happens, you can keep that money and it has even gained interest!

The first word you think of when you think Volkswagen isn’t usually refinement, and yet, lo and beyond, the 2010 Volkswagen GTI simply cannot be described any other way. It is nearly silent, with an extremely comfortable, luxurious interior and an engine that runs like a marvel of the modern word. It shows an athletic, beautiful design that still doesn’t detract from the roots of its maker as a car for the everyman. The sports compact puts a turbocharged 2.0-liter VW inline-4 that knocks out 207 horses into the sparkling design that’s gotten honed down to a fine edge. You might even call it – and we will – refined. .

Have you been wondering what the new 2010 Volkswagen GTI is like? If so, wonder no more. Motortrend recently reviewed this new car and gave it rave remarks. Here are some of the highlights from those reviews.

• The new VW GTI is much like the Rabbit of the 1980s in that it “leaps about corners,” but it also has a new rear suspension that is independent.
• The new model has an XDS electronic transverse differential block which helps “brake the inside rear to coax the tail into place in fast turns.”
• For the most part, the new GTI keeps the same design as its predecessors. When something is working for you, why try to fix it? That seems to be the VW motto and the 2010 GTI follows along those lines.
• According to a review at InsideLine, the new GTI “has an Everyman appeal that its rivals lack, as if it would have credibility at the test track even as it serves as a ride to town for drinks at someplace exclusive.”

If you have appreciated the past generations of the Volkswagen GTI, you will surely appreciate the newest incarnation. And if you have never tried this brand, the 2010 Volkswagen GTI is perfect for you!
