Why did ze Germans choose and Italian word?The 7 speed with flappy paddles was DSG and not a zf auto I think, but was supercharged . . . . and still not quicker than a T to 100 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty silly in these cars. The upgraded power figures are good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 30k new which isn't bad value I reckon. Can only just afford the T...can't wait to pay the thing off finally... less than 2 years left now.Then I can stick an 8 speed in it and cruise at <1000RPM on the freeway! Hahaha.

Dropped his name and started chatting, I had google researched the cars the night before so I knew all the features he would try to plug (that's new on this model right? oh I see they have changed the dash this year . . . etc). Sales bloke asked what I do for work, as soon an I mentioned the mines I was referred to as sir and given the pick of the showroom.Didn't tell him that the current job pays 1/3 of what I was on at the start of the year and that the car he gave me the keys to was double my base salary. But turn up in a ute with a flashing light and a flag on it and they think you'll pay cash and tick every option box.Can't wait til HSV drive day - same sh*t different pigeons, then get out and say "bloody nice note on it, but she's a bit slow mate" :sungum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
