What did you have before your Mk5?

[Backdoor]

How does your previous car compare with your Mk5?

I have had my Jetta for about 3 weeks now coming from a 99 SAAB 95. The SAAB was/is a nice car but no comparison with the Jetta. Just had an ECU upgrade on the Jetta also which puts an even bigger gap between them.

What about you guys?

PS: I have a SAAB for sale if anyones interested

I went from a late 2000 Holden Astra 1.8 Olympic edition 5 speed manual sedan in Silver to a 2007 Jetta 2.o FSI tiptronic ,also in Silver.
I said I was upgrading...everyone else said it was a massive upgrade,which it certainly was...
And loved the Astra whilst I had it.

Landcruiser Prado.
I thought about my old fuel bill today 160 litre tank(s), and felt sorry for the guy I sold it to.
There's a bit less body roll in the golf, but the ground clearance isn't as good now that i'm on coils...

before that it was a 1969 Mini K 1100
I'm who appreciates contrast.

First one was the biggest lemon - weekly visits to service dept. over course of a year....finally I had enough, got the lawyers involved and got a replacement car out of them! hehe

Replacement car was flawless...lost big dough on the resale though.
