Dammit

SUV's are typically based on FWD car platforms, so the space that they have over and above the conventional car they share said platform with tends to be in height - which of course may be what you're after.

In other news, I'm seriously considering a 2005 Mk1 Audi TT 3.2 DSG. It's this Japanese import.

Anyone got any experience of them, or the R32 which it basically is under the skin?

I’m pretty sure my Audi mechanic mentioned issues with a part of the R32 drivetrain or similar. The oil must be changed at the required intervals to avoid destruction. I’m sure a VW forum would provide much better info.

He wasn’t talking about engine oil.

I think this is referring to the DSG autobox, I think the earlier versions were particularly sensitive to self-destructing if the service intervals were not respected. Mine was a manual, lovely 6-speed box, really nice to shortshift from 2 to 4 to 6 on slip roads just for the hell of it
