    TDI tailpipe setup looks very "try-hard". Even worse that the pipes don't seem to line up properly with the chromeware. RHS needs black spray paint on the exposed body parts.

    So the 7spd in my Polo GTI is less reliable than the issues people had in their MKV Golf GTI's with 6spd DSG's?

    I dunno, either way - happy to know the Octavia's are the most reliable VAG automobile out there

    7spd has a 250nm torque limit. vRS petrol & diesel have more than 250nm.

    The 7 spd will be available with the 77tsi/90tsi/118tsi models.

    In a nutshell yes, the 7 spd is quite different in all aspects to the 6 spd, and has had the lions share of issues. At least that is covered under the recall stuff. The thing I would be worried about is the engine in the Polo GTi and Fabia RS hasn't had the best reliability.

    It's going to be hard to know whether you are following a vRS or a Suzuki Kizashi. I guess at least the Kizaashi has an AWD option.

    I remember likening the new vRS to the Kizashi awhile ago...

    1990 Mk1 Cabrio. 1.9 IDI w/ 18PSI.
    1985 Mazda T3500 adventuremobile. 1973 Superbug. 1972 Volvo 144 in poo-brown.
    Not including hers...

    I dunno, the front of the kizashi looks more like the 1Z FL model.

    as for the AWD model, well, we need that!
