The 3-series is nice. Al just bought one and it's his fourth(??) bimmer. Great cars for sure.

I'm in my Passat and I love it. Best car I've owned. However, once I get some shite settled I want to sell it and pick up a newer version with the 1.8T, lower it, chip it and put some nice 17" wheels on it and I'll be a happy chappy.

Reminds me of a paragraph from my car's user manual...

"The curb and back-up sensors might confuse water drops with other objects during rain or thick fog. It is best that you excercise caution in these conditions as the sensors' reading might not be accurate"
Or something like that.

21 March 2006, 09:26 AM

LOL - great video!

Yes, we just bought our 4th BMW and we have been very happy with all of them so far.

I had a 1.8T with the 17" 's on it as part of the sport package

Bro, you won't be disappointed

In the Golf? That 1.8T is a rocket in the Golf and the Jetta. In the Passat it's not bad, but mated to the manual transmission, the Passat 1.8T manual is faster than the V6 auto (I have). I read a Wett chip can bring the 1.8T from 170hp up to 207hp... then you put a K&N system on it for another 12-15hp and you're up in 220hp territory which is really good.

Of course, I could just say effe it and get a W8...

It was a 2004 Jetta 1.8T with the triptonic transmission. It handled like a dream and was quick as hell. Great car for the money

, just kinda small

We traded it in and got my wife a Chevy Avalanche

I'm not a fan of big trucks and SUV's, but she is, and she, of course, is the boss

Agree, the Jetta is too small. It's still a Golf with a trunk, although VW will tell you different. I find the Audi A4 too small as well. Marginally bigger (inside) than a Jetta. I find the Passat the perfect size. I really like the A6, but if you put similarly priced Passat and A6 together although I'd be tempted to get the A6, high insurance/maintenance costs would make me get the Passat.

BTW, there's a '97 BMW 540 with a six speed manual/sports package for sale here in Ottawa. It's got 150,000km on it and he's asking CDN$18K or 19K. Not a bad price, and not bad milage... but the car will be 10 model years old in a few months. Looks sweet tho!

That's what happened to my last Toyota 4x4. 10 yrs old and started to do the same thing. Finally had to get rid of it.

You'll have to wait till you can log on from an internet cafe in Bahrain, Adrian. It's kind of funny (but not dirty, so you may want to miss it).

Yeah, man. I'm shopping now. I hate having another car payment, but this is beginning to get expensive

I looked at the Passat

VW's are great cars, I would get another one in a heartbeat

But, seriously did you ever use the triptonic after the first week

Only when I was drunk and my wife was driving.

Just to aggravate her

I never used it when I was sober, either

I actually use it a fair bit. I miss manual transmissions that much. It's particularly useful when merging onto a highway or dropping it down a gear or two to get past some slowpoke.
