MattyA Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Ive always liked them. I think people are just disappointed, as VW could have made something really special, but instead made something to be more competitive in terms of price.I think they have loads of potential. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunalupi Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I still hate the back end style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> But i've seen a few modified ones, so I'm giving them the benifit of the doubt until I see some in the metal (so to speak).

Babs Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'd smooth the hatch, maybe add a Mk5 Golf roundel/handle, job done style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 someone should take a brave step and be the 1st to import a 1.6 fox 105bhp version. import from brazil and it would almost certianly cost less than a 1.4 urban in the uk.

Babs Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 yeah, as well as!a few weeks after I sold my previous Vento, I made a list of where I went wrong, and what I'd like on "ultimate" Vento, so it might be an opertunity to do that! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was looking at Corrado's, or maybe doing a Mk2 Jetta VR6, but I am a big fan of the Vento!I'm anticipating a fair few years, if I do scrape together the money/space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylus Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi guys, had to chip in with an opinion, i own a '05 fox and i`m more then pleased with the car, although most of the complaints here are related to power. I live in guatemala and mine has the 1.6l 105hp engine, put a cold air intake into it and had it chipped so i guess i`m making about 125hp... at that point its a sweet car to drive, and i planted it down with some shortened abt springs and 225/45/r17 tires. corners perfectly and it is very nimble. just wish VWAG would offer that in stock form.

stylus Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Heres my car, havent had any power loss over the tires since the wheels are actually really light (about a pound heavier then the factory 15" alloys) and it sticks to the road like chewing gum.

dub-love Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 TBH the fox is very good as a small hatch! it has plenty of room and if you go for the urban you get the sliding rear bench.I was a fox hater, but having had the urban for 3 months and a whopping 775 miles style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> its quite fun to drive.The 1.2 is nippy round town, and not to buzzy on a motorway!The only weird part that takes some gettin used to is the height, the seats are on raised subframes so you feel like your driving a SUV!!!I drive it more than my golf, tho thats prob down to the 20mpg from the golf vs 45 mpg from the fox style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Only issues i have had so far is the radio changes for no reason, and it has just had a new power steering unit as it failed and almost made me crash style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> thats the same as the polo so not just a fox issue!
