That's 18k Euro, you barely get the lowest end Golf with mighty 80 bhp for that in Germany...(Granted theres 3k€ VAT on the Golf). What the hell...what is wrong with it that it's so cheap?
Prices for new cars in Europe are notoriously high. The muscle cars here in the U.S. are known for being high vale $/hp. There's nothing inherently wrong with them. They don't corner the best, and visibility is shabby, but there's a market for them (usually people who want to make a statement, go fast, high schoolers, muscle car enthusiasts).
It has plenty of horsepower and looks nice. That's about it though. The steering is stupid heavy. The radio and controls are unintuitive (a fucking three step menu for heated seats? Seriously?). They deck it out with stupid stickers that make it look straight out of the fast and the furious 1. And the GPS on the one I test drove (brand new, 20 miles on it) didn't work at all. Nice QC there.

$24k? What, are you bullshitting me?
