TSG's Unified Fleet Thread

[thesameguy]

I have had quite a few rentals and generally liked them. Oddly, I liked the 1st gen better than the 2nd gen - I can't put my finger on what changed, but something did. I put probably 2000 miles on an '06 or '07 Coupe and had zero complaints. Totally pleasant in all regards.

I am slightly concerned that the CVT will freak her out - she does not like it when the gauge thingy goes above 3. I remember when I gave her the Saturn and she called me from the side of the road in a panic "The gauge went past 4 when I passed someone going uphill and I don't think it should do that." OTOH, maybe a CVT will be beneficial since it'll always do that. So exciting!!!

Edit: There are also Mk V Jetta 2.5s in this price range... but as much as I'd like to go that route I don't think it's a smart choice at any level. Although, maybe there are specialized VW shops in her area... we've got lots of them around here. Worth looking into.
