Talking Drove My Parents Car - VW Jetta 2.0 fsi Turbo

hey guys, I just drove my parents car to make sure it drives fine, and when I was driving my reaction was omfg god that car is quick : , its a 2.0l turbo as well, I just drove it around the block, I raced it up the hill it toke no time at all to get up 100km compared to my car , only did a small drive I’m impressed with this beast, felt kind of weird though with all technology in this car 2, so many warning lights.

Thanks for reading

You call that a Jetta, this is a Jetta!



F&F style FTW!:


I dont think you understand. Nice car and all, but the care factor is critically low.

So you were doing 100 in a residential area? Very irresponsible (stupid) thing to do don't you agree?

What were your parents thinking letting you drive the car anyway?

They are a nice car indeed and bloody effecient for how quick they are...I think 7 litres-100km city driving which is unbeleivable for a car (about) as quick as a Falcon or Aurion but they are still not a performance car. I was driving a Merc CL63 the other day and thats what you call a super fast factory car.
