[Re: TDI Golf & Scirocco]

[losinit@usa.net (Cathy Boyko)]

I have the "round" version (BugTDI, same platform) and find it a very nic=
e
drive, great fuel economy and it goes pretty well or the first 3500 rpms =
or
so, don't expect high rpm power, it ain't there (it's a diesel, torque pe=
ak is
at 2200 rpm). It's heavier than the Rocc,handling is decent, could stand =
a
stiffer suspension. There is no use expecting it to handle like a Scirocc=
o
(what does?), but I really like mine, it's got 104 000 kms on it now. And=

chips are not expensive and a painless performance upgrade, I've got the
Upsolute one and am pleased. But I totally enjoy the car.
