Had they solved the rust problems by 2001? - earlier E-class cars rot

like fuck.

To be honest, I`d suggest an E200 lump doesn`t really suit the E-class

anyway.

Not bad. Engine isn`t the greatest, they`re nice looking cars, but based

on the MkIII, ISTR, but facelifted with MkIV front and rear ends. Will

hold it`s value well.

No. Don`t even think about it!

Ewwww. Definitely not.

If he is looking at Mercs, and Beemers, why not a 166? Should get a tidy

one for the price of that 318 shouldn`t he?

Title: Volkswagen Golf R
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:36:24 +0000
Author: symo

Primo: bisogna trovare una vera erede mk6 della sempreverde R32. Secondo: non è possibile che la Ford Focus RS sia sempre cosi avanti anni luce da tutte le altre (o quasi), bisogna trovare un modo di avvicinarsi alla concorrenza. Probabilmente questa può essere la volta buona, in Volkswagen sembra abbiano pensato davvero a tutto nella creazione di questa Gof R.

Dal punto di vista meccanico la R è mossa dall’ormai famoso TSI 2.0 litri 4 cilindri che abbiamo già visto su Audi S3, TTS o Scirocco R. Questo motore permette di erogare la bellezza di 270 CV a 6 mila giri/min e una coppia massima di 350 Nm in un range di 2500 giri/min (da 2500 a 5000 per la precisione).

Le prestazioni sono di assoluto rilievo: la massima è limitata a 250 km/h e l’accelerazione 0-100 varia di 2 decimi di secondo in base all’adozione del cambio manuale (5,7 secondi) o automatico DSG (5,5 secondi).
