Default K my car just flashed service INSP...

that just means that it needs to havea regular service soon. I am driving home tomorrow and have already made an appointment. It should be safe for a 5 hour drive right?

Default Yes, believe it or not, the car does not have a self destruct feature if you don't go to the dealer

as soon as the service light comes on.

Default Indeed

me like 100x better than the b5 save two things:

1. Clutch..is there even a clutch? I can't feel it...

2. The plastic piece on the sides of the shifter/radio area...it gets in the way of my knee

Default I told you the clutch sucked on the B6 6mt, it's like stepping into a rotting corpse.

And we all knew about the crappy console intrusion.
