The Girlfriend is looking for a new car, SVT's outta the picture (need warranty)
I loved the engine but the seats and dash left a little to be desired, and we tested an auto,(so she could drive) so I really don't know about the shift linkage.
It was a very nice car and quite refined, but just didn't have the sporty roar of the SVT, I guess nothing a good exhaust wont help. Kudos to the Getta/Golf guys on this board, sweet ride.
Cool cars indeed...love the sport pkg...I've done research on them with a buddy who is interested in one. Its amazing what an intake, downpipe, catback and chip can do...a grand buys about a second off the e/t.
Shift linkage doesn't feel very positive, and the clutch was very light and rubbery compared to the tour. But, its something you could get used to!
