In A Family Station Wagon

In A Family Station Wagon





AND be economical. Then I came upon an episode of The Smoking Tire in which Matt Farrah was doing a one take video on a slick little Jetta Sportagen TDI. Through this I learned that the JSW was essentially a Golf VI and that GTI suspension parts and big brake kits would work on this chassis, and that it even shared the same brakes as the GTI from the factory! I looked and looked for a white one with less than 60k on it with the 6MT - to no avail. But I found a black one without the Pano sunroof ( I live in Florida so no thanks on that greenhouse), only 70k miles and with a DSG near my house. I bought an automatic car for myself. WHAT A BLAST!!! I have done an amateur drift event years ago, and any many test-n-tunes at the dragstrip, but nothing was as fun an experience as Autocross.





I even enjoyed working the cone station! Simply put, the Jetta Sportwagen impressed me, it may not be a rocket - it was the only diesel there and the only STATION WAGON. The suspension is not as crisp as a GTI and the body roll was visually and physically evident, but it never snapped back too bouncy or made the weight transitions hard to manage. Brake Dive was comically displayed, but even so, after 6 runs on my own and 2 with an instructor, I never felt like it didn't have enough braking power. They had a chance to cool for 5-10 min between most runs though, so it was not lap after lap of abuse but, they did inspire confidence to brake later and later. HP 2.0L Turbocharged Gas engines are classified GS, a much stiffer class as far as competition goes. The Bad: DSG - Direct Shift Gearbox, VW's automated 6 speed gearbox, has a Manual mode that is a joke - it still automatically up shifts, and doesn't want to downshift. Just stick it in S (sport Mode) and let it do its thing. The Future: I have "the bug" now, I have signed up for a Family SCCA membership and been studying the class rules and allowances.





For the starters, any sorts of engine warranty from the brand side will become void. Apart from that, the car engines are manufactured/designed in a very specific manner so modifying the top-speed of the car may affect the life of your engine as well. Shantanu | 1 week ago I have a Polo Allstar 1.2l engine. Q. What does TDi means? Q. Vento or Ciaz, which is better? Sabyasachi | 4 weeks ago Vento is a hard and heavy on road but tough vehicle. 3 weeks ago Vento is for rural and ciaz is better for urban people . Q. I am confused between Ameo and Dzire, which one is better below 7.5 lakhs? Navneet | 4 weeks ago VolksWagons are sturdily built cars but they are really very thirsty in terms of maintenance cost. Equally, fun to drive but other cars like Polo and Vento had some issues due to low ground clearance.





With every vehicle, maintenance cost is also associated and undoubtedly Maruti Suzuki is a winner. I would suggest you take a test drive of both the vehicles, drive them at your own, test the rear seat comfort as well and then decide. If you are buying a vehicle for city driving all of the time, Ameo is also a good option but again, check out for the features on offer and all electrical fancies just add to the cost. Rakesh | 4 weeks ago Undoubtedly Dzire is best. Thanks for reporting this. In a day and age where big touchscreens, pages-long features lists and cool interiors are defining our cars, is the old-school charm of the Volkswagen Passat still appealing? Volkswagen stealthily updated its Ameo and Polo lineup with a new 1.0-litre petrol engine in March this year. But does this lighter, more compact and more powerful mill inject some oomph into the rather bland Ameo petrol? The ID.3 is the first model in VW鈥檚 all-electric ID range. It will get battery range options from 330km up to 550km. High-capacity batteries will also make their way to the ID EV range in the future. The ID.3 will be launched at this year鈥檚 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
