    Oil Filter: Mahle Alternatives?

    Just curious if anyone's ever used / seen and oil filter that wasn't made my Mahle. I was at AutoZone today and their book claims an STP 3656 or K&N 164 will work, but I'm a bit skeptical as I know the REx is basically a motorcycle engine and much wider than usual.

    Charging Port Cover Sticking

    Had this happen on the old 2016 e-Golf, now it's starting to happen on the 2018 i3. When opening the charging port cover, it usually sticks in the closed position and I have to use fingernails or a pen to pry it open. Closing and staying closed works no problem. Consensus seems to be use a...

    19" wheels vs. 20" wheels

    Other than aesthetics, are there any advantages to the 20" wheels? If read that if anything, the 20" wheels can be a practical disadvantage as they make for a stiffer ride with less shock absorbsion.

    Key differences: 2014 vs 2015 vs 2016

    So, I think I'm gonna take the plunge on an i3. I'd need Giga trim + tech package minimum, and the HK speakers would be a nice bonus. I'm flexible on color, and BEV vs. Rex. I've started mulling used vs. new and lease vs. lease-takeover. For used, there's a 2014 Rex here in town asking...
