There is "power" and there is keeping up with freeway speed limits... two distinctly different things.

As a +1 toy, it's probably just fine. Would be a great wheeling rig IMO.

Right, but someone made the point that +1 = No :plac:

Swap = :plac:
Plus 1= :plac: :plac:

That's society's problem. They can get a scolarshit after daddy goes bankrupt in a few years, because 200k in negative equity in a 2015 GTI just doesn't have a way out.
PREDATORY LENDING I TELL YOU.

You're just a tune away from 750 torks and coal rolling.

You can't roll coal in a modern diesel. The amount of cats/egrs/piss attached to the exhaust system is :fullretard: They are going to go down in history as the worst engines of the 2010s>2020s...

Maybe because I bought into the "CLEAN DIESEL" tech with a 2011 TDI, which then got PURCHASED BACK after I waited for a year, and a lengthy paperwork process :lol:

IT WAS THE ONLY CAR out of 30, that I bought new.
Now MB was caught lying
FCA 3.slow was caught lying also, and now the new tune kills MPG and requires constant donkey piss refills.
This tech is shit, proven over and over again.

The whole emissions annual check thing has been eliminated where I live so I'd consider a diesel with all the clean air shit stripped off and a tune, but even saying that is :disgust: considering there are options that exist which run on 87 and get 40mpg (Civic Sport :mahman: ) . Maybe a used ram or something if I needed a work horse. :notsure:
