hey guys, I just drove my parents car to make sure it drives fine, and when I was driving my reaction was omfg god that car is quick
 :   , its a 2.0l turbo as well, I just drove it around the block, I raced it up the hill it toke no time at all to get up 100km compared to my car , only did a small drive I’m impressed with this beast, felt kind of weird though with all technology in this car 2, so many warning lights. Thanks for reading |

You call that a Jetta, this is a Jetta!
 F&F style FTW!  : I dont think you understand. Nice car and all, but the care factor is critically low.

They are a nice car indeed and bloody effecient for how quick they are...I think 7 litres-100km city driving which is unbeleivable for a car (about) as quick as a Falcon or Aurion but they are still not a performance car. I was driving a Merc CL63 the other day and thats what you call a super fast factory car.
