My 147

A VW stole my heart....

I am very tempted to give my bella away and get the new GOLF tsi (twin turbo). 1400 cc and 140 or 170 bhp.. At a very good price (around 19000 new), and very low consumption..

I don't really like the looks of a Golf. I am extremelly addicted to my bella, but the bhp and the technology of the latter engine is amazing!!

What do you think guys??

Re: A VW stole my heart....

I have 2002 147 and company 2005 golf. To be short, on bad roads golf is more comfortable, but that would be all the positives.

All our company cars are VW, starting with trasporter through caddy, golf... up to my boss's touareg V10. I have driven all, but none makes you smile, even the 333bhp touareg doesnt.

1,4 turbo/compressor has low consumption on paper or if you drive slowly. If you start to use the power, it drinks more than 1,8T. (said my friend - VW dealer)
