So basically, I've gone and bought a GTi6, I've seen the light!! Petrol is just so much better!
HAHAHA Like f*ck is it!!!!
I like the car and all, it's just horrific on fuel, not set your pants on fire quick, I don't find it *that* enjoyable to drive... I hate to say it, if I went tomorrow for a DRIVE - I'd still take the Diesel - I just prefer the power delivery, the economy, (sorry everyone..) the noise... Don't get me wrong, it's quick, nice - but just doesn't do it for me.
Hence why I'm pretty set on taking the GTi6 lump out and shoving in a Diesel...
It's done 90k miles, ph3, moonstone blue - bodywork is pretty good tbh - main reason I bought it... Had a slight overheating problem which proved to be a £5 thermostat and the clutch is very heavy and doesn't disengage fully - i.e. cable is worn out and bushes are knackered. I'm going to keep it whilst I redo my engine and then it'll come off the road and have the Diesel lump put in it...
