Replying to: creakid1 (Jun 26, 2007 7:45 am) yeah def in the VERY distant future, if at all. if it does, i doubt it will look exaclty like this either.   the new focus is coming out soon and there have already been pics of it, and its nothing to write home about. and it certainly looks nothing like this.   the interior still looks a bit chintzy though.

#1244 of 1379 Is this VW engine in our near future? by creakid1 Jun 27, 2007 (9:57 am)
Since the Euro-market MkV Jetta's are built in Mexico, & this frugal super-&-turbo charged 1.4 is being assembled just south of our border...   http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/u/r0a9f0811324f75a7t/carreviews/firstdrives/209156/volkswagen_jetta.html   Aren't we getting this engine soon? A lighter-nose 4-cyl Rabbit/Jetta should handle better than the 5-cyl one. Replies to this message: eldaino (Jun 27, 2007 10:08 am) davert (Aug 08, 2007 10:02 am) eldaino (Aug 08, 2007 10:27 am)

Replying to: creakid1 (Jun 27, 2007 9:57 am) actually no, we are not getting it at all. maybe it will be a choice in the newer mkVI, but the only thing that is happening to the rabbit and jetta is a horsepower bump to 170 and torque is up to 177.   i dont see any problems with the handling of the mkV chassis though, especially not in gti/rabbit guise; it handles well enough. the rabbit is still built in germany too, only the engine is sourced from mexcio. The jetta, however, is built there. Replies to this message: davert (Aug 08, 2007 10:02 am) eldaino (Aug 08, 2007 10:27 am)

Replying to: rorr (Sep 11, 2006 1:39 pm) I've driven the Speed 3, the GTI, even the little Mini Cooper S. None compare the the Civic SI in refinement, handling or all out fun to drive in my opinion. Plus it is cheaper and much more reliable to boot. The best by far. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Jul 23, 2007 7:49 am) eldaino (Jul 23, 2007 9:06 am)

Replying to: carfanatic007 (Jul 22, 2007 4:30 pm) Have you driven all 4 on the same road course?   "all out fun to drive" is subjective, which is OK. I just don't think the Si was all that fun to drive. The Mini was the most fun, by far, in my opinion.

Replying to: carfanatic007 (Jul 22, 2007 4:30 pm) long time no post fanboy!   if the si is the most fun in YOUR OPINION, how is it also the 'best by far'?
#1249 of 1379 SI Best by far by carfanatic007 Jul 23, 2007 (2:56 pm)
For those of you who don't comprehend, I will expl ain. I prefer the SI to the GTI, the MS3, the Mini cooper "S", the Nissan Sentra SER Spec V, etc. To me, the SI rocks. Just superior in all facets of driving. I'm sorry if you don't agree. Thanks.

Replying to: carfanatic007 (Jul 23, 2007 2:56 pm) I can understand it. That's why they make various cars...not all of us like the same things. Replies to this message: roadburner (Jul 23, 2007 6:40 pm)

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jul 23, 2007 3:07 pm) I can understand it. That's why they make various cars...not all of us like the same things.   Agreed. I went with the Mazdaspeed3; I loved the MCS JCW but I needed a larger rear seat. The Si was OK, but I already have one car that needs to be wound tight in order to make brisk progress. The GTI had the best interior but I didn't want a sunroof and the local VW dealer wasn't enthusiastic about special ordering a car. So far I love the MS3, and I'll probably keep it for a few years, or at least until BMW sticks the twin turbo diesel in the 1er...
