You mean abit fatter! We picked up my wifes new car yesterday aswell, a brand new Honda Civic VTI. Very nice car, well built, solid, and comes with everything you would want these days. The only thing i could pick at is its not made in Japan anymore.

driven a mark 4 and 5 gti, they are both awesome cars!
only use about 2l per hundred or so more fuel than a micra, not quite as chuckable but enough power to be good fun |

For those not in the know, what vehicle is being referred to as a fagmobile or fudge packer?

nz_aj WROTE: "For those not in the know, what vehicle is being referred to as a fagmobile or fudge packer?" Polo I reckon. They're a pretty poofy car. Nice enough, but a bit poofy. They can go pretty quick though. http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa35/yombert/08%20mkV%20Golf%20GTI/?action=view¤t=31072008736.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa35/yombert/08%20mkV%20Golf%20GTI/31072008737.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa35/yombert/08%20mkV%20Golf%20GTI/31072008739.jpg |

Yeh I've already identified that the 6spd manual is way more fun to drive.
Auto was however a requirement. This is a vehicle I'll be using for work and the last thing I want to be doing is changing gears all the time. Ah well. |

ah well! yeah the manual is pretty fun... smooth box and light clutch
im sure the DSG is cool, everyone raves about it... it'd just feel a little platstation-y to me |

Mate I feel like an old fart with a playstation. I tell it to do something and it gets confused. Ya can't skip a 2 gears very easily apparently.
Not sure if its a "problem" unique to mine (don't seem to hear of anyone else whinging about them) or if its just the operator. I suspect its the operator but hey. :P |
