3200 kms in 1st week of ownership of Scout

[Jake02]

I loathed my Liberty so much at the end

Which gen Liberty did you own just out of interest?

Hey
It was a 2006 model 2.5 5 speed.

I saw a Scout burn a Liberty off at the lights the other day.
Both were p-platers and obviously knew eachother.
I was rather impressed... Then burnt the Scout off at the next lights.

Good to see your superior intellect and wisdom helped you avoid hooning!!!!
Would have done the same but now of course live in fear of tdi gap envy.. i need more power!!!!
The Scout is way quicker than the liberty.. i cant figure how it gets a 10.9 for the 100 k time it feels much quicker than that although I suspect it has something to do with the slightly awkward 1st to second thing

TDI gap envy?

1st->2nd is actually pretty quick, considering.
I came to the vRS from a Kia Sorento and Kia Rio. The Rio was a manual, 5spd 1.4ltr... 1st to 2nd at 6k rpm took a good 2sec. Anything quicker and you'd hear the crunch.
With the TDI, if you can shift before you lose boost (around .7-.8sec, if I recall), its bloody quick.

Cause bloody hell, boost takes ages to build up.
