Re: Vr6 GTI impressions

[Emm Dee Emm Eh <scirocco86@home.com>]

For a few grand more than that you could probably get a 1.8T golf new.
I'd do that before getting an A3 VR6 car with 30k already on it. I don't
like the VR-6 motor all that much, then again I suppose if your driving
a passat or Jetta you would need that torque. I can't credit the 1.8T
enough, I love driving mine, can't wait to chip it/k04 it. Thanks,
