My wbx is completely heathy with the chip fat keeping a respectful distance from the dishwater, thanks
The diesels all seemed to be encumbered with excesses of luxury fittings, so had other issues. Like roofracks falling off...

Re: Just for Neil
My perfect syncro would have a diesel engine producing in excess of 225bhp 400ft/lb torque, a 6 speed auto gearbox, low range, and adjustable height suspension.
For historical reasons to do with flat fours I do really love my WBX.

Re: Just for Neil
My WBX'ers have been pretty reliable over the last 5 yrs.
However the nagging feeling you might be overdoing it and the constant fear of head gasket failure means I will never be a fan of them.
Peace of mind AND sufficient power are the ideal. The WBX offers neither sadly.
