I had a 2010 Mk VI Manual GTI and after numerous warranty repairs I got rid of the POS! I have sworn off anything Euro ever again ;)


Interesting, I have two VWs, a 2008 GTi with 100k on the clock and 2010 diesel Passat. Haven't had an issue(touch wood) a part from a problem with the rear door on the GTi that was fixed under warranty. The only thing about the GTi is they eat oil, about 4 litres in 15000klms. I like the VW's so much I am considering the Golf R next year. Would love to get Falcon GT supercharged or the typhoon but just can't see them making 5 years for me.

If my wife would drive it I would get a pajero as I would love to go 4wd again

The Liberty's have terrible seats if you are above tiny size, I was keen to get the GT and hated the seating.


Funny I ain't that tiny and I found them really comfy. Much better than any ford or commodore.

My impreza is the best car I have owned so far. A lot more direct and fine tuned. Although I did like Firey's golf before it started playing up.

Dont think blurr had any trouble when he went to pi in it, hes taller than me


I just hated the seats, I sat in one for a test drive and said don't bother as I couldn't get comfortable before leaving the driveway.

Never tried the impreza. My wife had 2 liberties, a 99 and a 2006, I didn't like the seating in them and when I tried the GT I was surprised as I thought it would be better, it was in 2008 so maybe things have changed.

Having had one as a rental in Brisbane last week I wouldn't recommend one if you are on antidepressants as you may just want to top yourself.

Me just for fun and because I already have one I would get the Golf GTi. No good for towing and doing anything practical but that is why you get it. I did take the family away for week in it(wife and 2 kids, pram, tonka truck, no bikes though) just to prove it could be done

Similar to the seats in the wrx I think, when my missus first got hers I found it a little tight but it was only a couple of trips and now I love the seats. ;-)

Hi Dave,

Well, now you have a family the M3 Coupe is out of the question since it's too hard to get the baby in and out of the back, therefore you'll need an M3 Sedan instead.

HTH,

cheers

As both my girls have grown up and Im over the 6lts muscle...... VW Scirocco R or VW Golf R :) .. issue with Golf R is tow bar for the bike.(exhaust coming out the centre of the car)

And give Toyota insurance a call as you dont even have to have brought a toyota to get there insurance, which in my case was a cut above the next ($620.00 Pa for $51k, 65% for life)
