This car is just awesome. I remember, when I saw this car for the first time, I was pretty impressed. For me it's the best car, for a 'small' cash.
But I prefer buying old cars -> some suspension mods -> V8 engine and lets gooooo : )
Btw, something about VW - do NOT trust this mark : ). They are producing 3-cylindre engines, with both turbo and compressor (1.4 TSI). Parts in this block cant handle this power and wtf is 3-cylinders? It can handle less than 40000km.
Or FSI engine, which doesn't works properly with less than 98 patrol. But they have nice diesel engines instead.
The 3 cylinder stuff can be quite annoying sometimes because i can notice/hear it perfectly. But i got used to it already, specially because i learned how to drive at Some Seat Ibiza with same engine (i think... 3 cylinder)
Ja tam mam silnik 3.0t V6 i jestem z jego mocy zadowolony, za to z jego zuzycia paliwa juz nie - ciagnie jak traktor i koniecznie potrzebuje benzyny super..
Intake and exhaust are both completely overhauled, did a bunch of weight reduction, custom computer tune, USB diagnostic and tuning port, and best part is I did all the work myself so the total price of the car and all the mods is only around $6,000. 305HP, 10.9 second quarter mile last time I took it out to the track.
And I agree, 3cyl is such a weird design, they sound funny.
ye most important is that you like the car. just do a test drive to see how it goes. myself is driving a mazda 2, nice car with good handling tbh, and for my first car it was not too expensive and it got still a good quality!
Bought in the end of 2009.

Kinda happy with this car

so i would prefer a new golf which is much more reliable and more comforrtable.
