I'm one step ahead of him!In the interests of saving some dough (so that I can admittedly use that dough to upgrade the mrs' car!) I picked up a VW Jetta demo yesterday. It's the 118TSI which is the twin-charged thing and I gotta say, that thing moves!The 0-100 of 8.5 I think doesn't do it justice. The 1.4 is no replacement for displacement as they say but it's a pretty nice car in its own right.Now to sell the G-Spec. Sad face.Surely this act of treason will not result in cancellation of my membership Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71100-do-i-have-to-hand-in-my-membership/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWs have been returning oil to the ground since the day they were invented.

our06t Mmmmm......BOOST Member 3,135 Member For: 18y 17d Gender: Male Location: central coast Posted 17/10/10 04:14 AM Share Posted 17/10/10 04:14 AM (edited) vw are doing good things atm , never liked mercs something about them just sucks.have a 09 320i with all extras it is an excellent little car can't fault it but still believe you pay to much for what they are( wouldn't ever spend more than 40k on a car ever again done it 3 times now and always regretted it)I think a demo or 12mnth old mazda cx series is going to get the nod for the next family car unless ford do something really new with the territory .

I want something new dammit. Have always liked the CX9 though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71100-do-i-have-to-hand-in-my-membership/#findComment-1048212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
