Its pretty decient, with the seats folded down its actually quite large. I haven't decided on what type of roof rack to put on, its to low for a hitch [it would grind on my driveway], roof racks are pricy, about $650. I'm thinking of a saris[sp?] but i havent checked them to much. But I am defenetly going to get one.how's the trunk space? what kind of bike rack are you planning to install?
the DSG isn't an automatic! and it indeed kicks ass. i had quite a bit of fun in the GTI i test drove this past winter, and DSG is slick.Nice. Did you get the boy's model or the automatic? (Actually, I've heard the auto kicks ass...would love to test-drive one...)

Really? Wow. VW usually likes to go off straight up crank hp to make their penises look bigger (ie, my VR puts out 225hp...at the crank ). Good to know. How's the acceleration? I know they weigh a whole lot, but I've heard they drive very nicely.The funny thing about the engine is that it actually has more power than advertised. People have seen almost 200 wheel horsepower from the stock engine on the dyno. It pulled almost as hard as my 247 hp VR6.
acceleration is great! Especialy if you Have the DSG trany, then you can put it in "Launch mode". It's already been up to 120mph, it would have gone farther too.Really? Wow.

I'm debating about getting rid of my MkIII and going FI in a 16v MkII...mmmm...MkII.
They dont make one for the GTIoh... yakama roofrack... i have 1... i like it... and it's no where near 650.

BTW, they are sending me a fast!
Do you keep gallon jugs of 100 octane for it in your apartment?I just got this yesterday, what a fun/ practial car! It's a blast to drive to, with its 200Hp turbo-charged engine:biggrin:!
Takes 91, and its a house.Do you keep gallon jugs of 100 octane for it in your apartment?
yeah, with both the wheels off. It would be tight though. Its got 60/40 split seats though.Nice. How much truck room is there? Could you get a bike in there (with the wheels off) with the back seats up?
Then it's not a cool enough VW for these forums man.Takes 91, and its a house.
What's "launch mode"?acceleration is great! Especialy if you Have the DSG trany, then you can put it in "Launch mode". It's already been up to 120mph, it would have gone farther too.
I'm with Rob.Then it's not a cool enough VW for these forums man.
i wish my car had a 20:1 or whatever compression ratio...I'm with Rob.
Sorry. irate2:
Launch mode is when you take ESP off, put in in sport mode, put your left foot on the brake, and your right on the gas. Rev it up to 3200RPM, let go of the brake, and Hold On!What's "launch mode"?
BTW have you seen how when you break the tires loose the little sliding car light flashes on on the dash? So cool.
I wish my car launched by holding the brake and letting go of the gas.Launch mode is when you take ESP off, put in in sport mode, put your left foot on the brake, and your right on the gas. Rev it up to 3200RPM, let go of the gas, and Hold On!
That little light is so fun to get to turn on! haha.
Fixed, I can be a dumba$$ at times.I wish my car launched by holding the brake and letting go of the gas.
