Hello, I will soon get a new company car for my old golf and although I am an old VW friend I am very interested in the V50. Is bigger than the A3 and I need space for a approaching dwarf. Have read quite a lot in the forum the last days. I drive a lot professionally and depend on a reliable car. Am I really well advised with a V50? My golf has now in three years 100000 KM on it and no breakdown. Here my configuration V50, 1. 6D, Kinetic, Dachrehling, High Performace, Speed Control System, 16″ wheels Acrux, GSM-Telephone. black. The 2.0D is simply too expensive for me. But I didn’t want to go backwards from the acceleration to my Golf TDI 100 HP which is quite enough for me. Now the questions! – Is the 1.6D more stable than the 2.0D (see forum reports) – Is the V50 relatively breakdown-free? – Does it make fun to ride, does it feel sporty? – Is the telephone equipment really that bad? – Is the High Pe rformance system good for normal ears? I already drove a short sample and wondered about the noisy engine. I thought the pump nozzle engines would be loud, but maybe that was just the bad-running test car. As an alternative I would have, as I find both the new Passat and Golf V just ugly, the somewhat still but well equipped Skoda Octavia. The aim is a stylish family car (max. two Smurfs) making the fun while driving (also v I would be happy about your experiences. LG Natas2
