Nice MK5 dude!
I did that multiple times todayDid anyone else read Mk-5 as MX-5, and get slightly confused when clicking on this thread? Anyway, nice car!
May be Time for sort-of an update after one year:
The car is still mine (unlike the Dacia) , it runs great, handles well... just like a proper car should do.
There is only one problem : Germany doesn't like my car anymore:
We've got a new type of fuel here called 'Super E10' which contains 10% of Bio-Ethanol in it. They say its good for the envoirement, but in fact its only a reason to raise fuelprices.
Luckily 90% of all cars can be driven on that fuel...... guess which can't?
Correct, the hyper-modern-FSI-Engines ... thats why I have to pay ~1,70? for a Liter of Super Plus and I can't see the point of keeping this car :'( It looks like I'll have to buy a diesel-powered car again, cheeper to run, you know
After some weeks of looking for one, i can tell you that there are few nicely equiped dieselcars with low mileage , and if there is one you can't pay the price
Geetz
May be right, but my car has got a 'Standheizung' (google means pre-heating) which isn't compatible with E10... my VW Dealer said I shouldn't use it at all, it isn't compatible etc.
And because I love this car so much, I won't drive it on E10.
My next car will ppb. be a Golf VI or a Touran, we'll see. In future more space may be needed and I dont want to buy a new car every year !
@Shawn : Are you serious? Afaik the Mk-VI is just a restyled MkV with new Engines ... so nothing bad so far
The MK VI GTI would be a little overkill, even if there was one I ppb couldn't aford keeping a car like that, I'm changing to save money
Nice Golf. Didn't know you could get the 2.0T in the Golf and not have it be a GTI.
