Yeah, although not so with the TDi, the torque is LOVELY. Really came into its own in on sand driving 2nd or 3rd gear at 2,000 revs. mmmm.

Exactly!

Well.. reving the nuts off isnt alway required...
I tried very hard at Coney Farm to go as slow as I thought the wheazy 1.9 petrol would go and not once did I have to dip the clutch to get the revs back up.. so prob could have gone a bit slower.. most of the climbs were around 2500 rpm..
Get to a meeting and (if syncronaught registered) you can have a go in one
Or meet up with a couple of members for a bit of fun..
I plan on doing a pay and play and would like to see how the syncro compared to other vehicles..
