For sure a turbo/super charger/twin charge engine is more excited & fun than a NA but I rather trade it for a realiable NA engine.

I have also thought of changing to other conti car ie 3 series or c class but I really had the phobia of my car break down anytime and keep in workshop for weeks and left me transport-less. That's really pain in arse as I have only 1 car

Come tell me how a turbo engine will need "MORE" maintenance from your side, and will not as reliable as a NA car.

Wait, when you say reliable, do you mean my turbo will blew the extractor off? rolleyes.gif

Don't get me wrong, what I meant is vw's forced induction. Your turbo won't blew your extractor off but will crack your pistons.

that's a common problem in 1.4 TSI
Else, i never heard any 1.2/1.8/2.0 get their piston cracked

hmm... sometimes i don't really understand people willing trade off their pleasure in driving for 5 freaking years since they are so bloody concern of resale value.
