Also, the 6 series BMW should've designed.

I never knew until now ... but it seems that I am indeed a badgeist.... and what exactly now is so bad? You acknowledged that it's basically the same car, only a bit bigger, so where's the problem?! :?
Racing games, at best, will help you with steering and throttle input. No game has yet bothered to model the clutch properly, so it's not taught you ANYTHING there.Do racing games like GT, Forza, LFS, GTR, rFactor etc. make you a better driver?
You learn racing lines, basic terms like oversteer and understeer, you learn how to countersteer and how cars react (although I don't know how realistic this is since I've never driven a car at the limit). I often play LFS with a G25 and I think it helped when I learned driving, the controls felt natural albeit different to the game. While a friend who started driving around the same time and never actually played some racing games (because he isn't very interested in cars in general) had more difficulties with getting comfortable with the controls especially the clutch. Or is that just because I am more interested in cars and more eager to learn things about it in the first place?
Just some thought I wanted to share somewhere

I'm in a "Svilen can fix everything" mood today! I just drained my ATF...all I needed was the proper tool, and then it was like a walk in the park. Took the car for a drive after that. The shifts seem to be smoother...I'll do another drain-fill on Saturday, and I'll report on the final result.
I'm so cocky, that I will even attempt to change my oil for the first time next week.
(Nevertheless, I'm still a mechanic noob)

The Golf is a hatchback and looks meaner.Damn it! I?ve run out of arguments. I?m trying to tell a friend to buy a used Golf V over a used Skoda Oktavia (II). And I just can?t come up with something rational or meaningful! With the same kit, the oktavia is slightly cheaper (if you want to call 500-1000 Euro slightly)... and bigger ... technically they are the same car anyway (thx VW plattform) and skoda scores so damn well in customer satisfaction these days it makes it impossible to argue that the Golf is the better car! I want to argue against the size and the lifestyle (sedan vs hatchback - parking and image) ... but I would feel silly doing that. Damn it Golf V! Why do you hold your value so damn good!! Now I?m going to end up in the passengerseat of a 1,5 year old oktavia! I?ll prob even be dragged along for some testdrives!!!!
Life is cruel.
Why would you drain and refill the trans fluid twice? and did you remove the pan to change the filter(assumes it is an automatic)?
