My New Toy

[dangerous_daveo]

Hi all.

This is the reason for the Ceffy being for sale (did I mention my ceffy is for sale?)

Just want to say thanks to the guys on here that helped with some financial direction, partictuarly EvoCam, who was extremly helpful.

Anyway PICS!

PS, for those who dont know. Top model VW Jetta. GTI motor (280nm 1800-5000rpm, 147kw 5200-6000rpm), dsg gearbox standard, and a boot that is bigger than a commodore or a falcon, or a camary, or a 380... 0-100 7.2secs. 8L per 100kms combind cycle. I'm quite happy with it. Just going to get a nice sub, and an amp to give some more guts to the front stage.

Nice

Just curious, did you consider a Golf GTI? If so, why did the Jetta win? I'm asking because I'm looking for a new daily and both of these are on the not-so-short list, the Golf wins for me so far (personal preference) but if I've missed something with the Jetta it might be worth another look!

Had the same dilemma myself. Jetta has massive storage space, and basically same performance

But liked the look of the Gti better, so got the Gti. Great car. Just a shame I couldn't quite stretch the budget for the GPS.

They already have mods available for them as well. Might have to get some of the stuff from Britain or Germany though...

Well for me, I wanted a boot. So it really came down to the Jetta or the Mondeo turbo (only came in manual so it went out). That and the boot is HUGE! I mean you really dont notice it until you see it in real life. You could fit a small african nation in there!

I mean the GTI is a harder car, after the cef I wanted something not too distant, but softer. Other thing I wanted the DSG. So the same speced golf came out costing more, for really less car.

And yeah, with a chip they are nuts. Like 185kw and 420nm. With those figures over the same or better rev range it would be just wrong.

Haha yeah they'd be insane with that much torque. The DSG is a good thing too, I drove an Audi with the same box a month or so ago and loved it.

Thanks for the info... might have to go and have another sit/drive!

Well I went for a 2 hour test drive on a Saturday morning 2nd last weekend of the financial year. Go for a decent drive. Take it up some hills, thru the city, etc.

That, or buy my Cefiro

Yeah. And at that money, you have a fair few other options as well.

Quite happy with the golf myself. It was a toss up between that and the jetta when i was purchasing it, but since i didn't need it to be too practical (have three other cars sitting around to be practical if need be), i was able to pick it on looks. I only get to drive it once a month or so, but it's worth it.
