KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:man this car handles correct. it's a perfect balance of light, tight, and responsive. it's most definitely better than every audi and bmw i've driven, and i fucken love audis. together with the no-transmission acceleration and instant torque, this is a very addicting car to drive. the suspension is similarly balanced between comfort and "sport", it both handles rough roads well and corners right. there's almost no bodyroll, but thats more a center-of-gravity thing with the battery "skateboard." braking is good, i might like more sensitivity though - like if i so much as rest my foot on the brake pedal on my a6, it engages, and im into that.

i wanted to actually drive the car before forming an opinion about it, yes, unlike the posters itt who openly brag about having never driven one and also not owning a car or having a license at all teslas are pretty cheap to rent on turo so i invite each of you to do that and post your own polemic about it i guess?

i do expect you to know the difference between an M47 Diesel engine (one of BMWs best) and an N46 Gasoline engine (one of their worst). Also good find, that E90 Post mortem is why i know so much about the Valvetronic failure modes because between then and now is over 100 Engineering hours in finding wtf went wrong in that motor. E: And had you read the entire story you would have known its not my car, but my best friends car, whom i warned about the Valvetronic unit 3 years ago when he bought the E90. But i guess a raging boner about owning some dude on the internet who literally gets paid with your idiot money was irresistible KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:the core difference between you and I is that i post about not buying lovely broken cars Combat Theory fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Mar 22, 2019 |

Lightbulb Out posted:hey combat theory what do you think about the golf alltrack? thinking of buying one for ~*MY WIFE*~ Which Engine? Generally try to avoid VW AWD, its a lot of extra weight for very little more than what the FWD offers. I didnt have an EA888 on the dyno yet so no idea about the Gasoline Engine. the 2.0 TDI seems like a good option, if they managed to 6d-TEMP certify them by now. if you dont feel emotionally attached to whatever options the Alltrack comes with, i would suggest going for the Motor of your choice in a regular Golf instead, youll save up to 300 Kg of dry mass and a good amount of money. Also dont get the DSG. If you dont want to wiggle the stick yourself, take the Torque Converter automatic, itll save you an arm and a leg in the long run. We are currently measuring the EA211 Evo Motor, or simply "The Evo". I can ask around a bit about that one next week if you like, see what i hear about any weird kinks.

are dsgs just one of those things that sound nice in theory but in practice are just engineering/reliability nightmares and things trying to achieve what they do should just stay in ferrari land

she wants a manual wagon, in the US, so its basically a crosstrek or an alltrack. would love to get something older but i dont want to have to think about it. they have the 1.8t. no dsg for this family. well aware of the issues with the awd systems, not my first choice - but thats why i have a pile of e30s and she can drive something newer, safer, and awd is nice in the winter especially with winter tires more on topic: i recently got to drive a chevy bolt and it was pretty nice?? it makes a lot of sense for certain markets. i don't know why you'd pick a model 3 other than the tesla hype. the model s at least makes some sense to me.

If memory serves me right, VW Drivetrains seperate DSGs at 280 Nm of Torque. lower than that you get dry clutches, above you get wet clutches. The dry clutches dont last. Service costs so much you gonna ask to pay in souls of the damned instead.

Honestly you are so deep into the German Car US market i think you can better tell me what to buy ^^ If a Subaru Crosstrek is on the Table, i would propably tend to prefer that one if only for the Drivetrain and rear axle, that was considered from the get go as an AWD. But dont ask me about Subaru Engines, they are very rare here.
