1995 VOLKSWAGEN VENTO GL Private Cars For Sale in NSW - carsales.com.au

Bargain. The 2.0L pulls fine too.

despite such a bargain, I want a hatch. Front end swap is on the "to do" list though.

I was in the same position as you, and still kinda of am, also just finished HSC I ended up getting a VR6, without really knowing what i was doing, just saw it, good size engine and what not and jumped..best decision so far, love mine, drives well and is actualy pretty good on fuel, i did have to spend some money on it, but all well worth it. Pitty im thinking of possibly selling due to overseas trip in december!

My CL has AC.... is it not meant to?

The 1.8 is a little gutless though, I wont lie. Not that thats a problem when you have a vr6 waiting to be dropped in

Think I might swap in power windows too (which a lot of people would actually think is going backwards, as the mk3 power windows fail all the time. As in like monthly.) Still, I feel like a peasant having to wind them down after having the power ones. Hah.

Swap some vr6 seats into a cl, realise you're getting literraly 2x as many kilometres out of a tank compared to the vr6 boys, and make a nice low and slow cruiser if youre on a tight budget 2 doors are just so much more sexy

Good luck with it!

According to RedBook, it's an option.

Yh, the current share car (06 Holden Astra, soon to be sold) is a 1.8 ecotech and has no guts at all. Rolling start of 20km/h in 2nd gear then foot to the floor, car takes like 8 seconds to get to 65km/h.
But yeah, I'd rather the wind down windows and I'm definitely going to source some vr6 seats or even some B6/B7 Audi seats and see if they fit.
Bumper shave/mould, respray (want to a deep pearl blue), front end swap, rims, coil overs etc are all on the intangible "to do list". Need to start work first and earn some cash!

Go the VR or a Vento. What's wrong with a little extra booty?

[drucejnr]

I hear the VR is too much hassle? Plus I want an easy going car, not a money pit and the booty won't fit in the driveway and "safe" parking is on the other side of the block (I live 2 houses from an intersection on a busy road)
