Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Basically I think you need to get your GF to drive one. Once you drive one you get why people like them.

The three piston one does have issues.

Funny that, top of my list is also a Yeti in TSI guise. VAG group parts are also plenty and cheap enough.

@lynx yeah after some reading, that’s a lot of uncertainties, and I’d rather not get into timing issues (I have enough motorcycle bullshit to take my time)

@hugo7 great to know, as mentioned above, quietness is essential, but music is critical as well, we’re both music heads so really want something that decent off of the bat, or a system that can be upgraded with ease.
I guess it’s VAG group stuff it is.

Currently in the middle of a long roadtrip across Brazil. My god. What a country for driving.

Driving my VW Trimax and dreaming of an Impreza STI or Pajero Evo.

As a keen VW guy, there are some super interesting/shitty models across here that have provided ample entertainment.

Currently in Teofilo Otoni heading east. Yesterday we found a car freshly upside down off the mountainside before the emergency services could attend. Today we were 1.5 hours ahead of the horror bus crash that's on the guardian. Sobering.

Very envious. I spent a bit of time in Brazil in my youth, but not as long as I wanted, and had an epic time.

Are you going to Bahia?
