tell me how the VW is, gonna be picking one up in 3 weeks or so

Ahh! 5.5l V8s etc - anything like that in the UK and we would be utterly stuffed - it's already $9/US gallon over here converted! Though the 95 Octane Regular and 98/99 Octane Super is nice for insane levels of boost.

I drive a Nissan Micra 1.3i 16V - joke but it gets me round and 45mpg helps my bank balance. Possibly getting a Peugeot 306 DTurbo in the near future, though.

if your looking at the pug tdi go for the smaller 206. my friend has one and is only paying £40 a year tax!!!! plus he is getting 50-60mpg too. my passat tdi is doing 50-55 but im paying £115

Sure.





If yout want more tell me.

Thanks.

[LittleDevil]

It is enough , just wanted to see if you have navi and leather seats.

Thanks

[deepsilver]

A navi is im work, but the VW RNS-510 it's so costly (about 2.000€ or $3.150).

why did you get an automatic?

[the_recluse]

2004 RAV 4, bought new, 32000 miles on it. Toyota keeps wanting to buy it back.

[Zytek_Fan]

why did you get an automatic?

Well, it is TipTronic?

[D_o_S]

Well, it is TipTronic?

Actually, its DSG, and shifts faster than a manual

The 206 sucks for the HDi units as they don't run nice on Veg Oil and they are ECU controlled and I have heard alot of bad stuff about them - the DTurbos with Mechanical Fuel Injection are easy to tune and with the Bosch injector pumps run absolutely GREAT on Veg Oil, though I think they are about £70/year on tax - though I will check.

@deepsiver - It still can't beat a manual for fun though - after driving manuals all my life now I would never go back to an Auto/Tiptronic for anything - not half as much fun.

Citroen C2 VTS HDi 16v frugal but fun...

Even better then
I want an Audi A6 with DSG, but it's a pain in the ass to find one in the Pacific Northwest

the issue with vegetable oil is it has alot of glycerine which will clog the injectors. look on ebay and google for "bio diesel kits" - they filter out the glycerine, resulting in a super lubricated fuel, which they recon will reduce engine friction that little bit more

as for the 206, i dont work on cars but they seem popular. if you can afford it though, get a german diesel - i havent looked back since (well except for the m3 and scooby's)

[deepsilver]

I got the chance to drive a Passat for one week with DSG .... now I own it.
Normaly I would by a navi, but I have no regrets about it.

I have no problems to shift manual, but the DSG is so neat and makes also a lot of fun.

[afireinside]

I thought the DSG had paddle shifters? Or am I just not seeing them?

[deepsilver]

That F1-Paddel's can you order, but I never miss them.

[it_burns_when_i_pee]

passats are good

assumed you had an automatic

i have the passat sport tdi so has all the extra's .... gorgeous to drive

german engineering is outstanding

Ok this my car..got on my B-day..Jan 08
for those who do not know it..this a 2008 650i convert..Barbera Red

[Zytek_Fan]

Anyone notice how badly the newer Ford F-150s depreciate? Not that it's a BAD thing, but it's worth mentioning...

OMG, thats a beautiful car. I have always loved that model, and the drop-top with that color... wow... I love it.

Well lets see... first off it's a domestic. Domestics depreciate about 900000x faster than imports. Second, gas isn't cheap and apparently the penis factor of owning a big truck you never use for hauling/trailering isn't worth 4 dollars a gallon.

They're good to have in Idaho, but I do agree.
I've got no idea why a Californian (metro area Californian) has to drive a large pickup...
