Apparently you cant drive them on the sidewalk though, and your screwed if you nearly hit a nun pushing a baby carriage too, even if she shouts obscenties at you...such is life. Still fun to drive though, and if I can find a parking spot I just put a bike lock on it and secure it to a tree.

You know you wanted a Sport. Yours looks more like a GTI rather than a 3L TDI.

if those specs are real, then damn is that impressive. 180hp, 0-60 in 5.0, and STILL get 92mpg? unfortunately, ive gotta call BS on that one.
if it is true... hell ill figure out some way to drop 1500lbs from my vette and drop that little thing in there instead.

I gotta say, a 180hp engine that can manage almost 100 miles to the gallon and accelerate like that with such a high top speed? I didn't even think it was possible.
You sure the stats are right Jeff? Don't mean to sound like im crapping on the thread here, im an engine fanatic but I tend to focus more on bikes as you know...... |
