I'm liking the new motor, but will be sad to see you leaving the GV club!

Yep. Strange thing is, I replaced the filter just a few months ago

I love the T5 but its really not comparable with the GV.
Where my GV van rides like a big luxurious car with van capability is my T5 a big van which (almost) rides like a SUV.

There is a chance I will be sorry.. While my GV had some minor mechanical problems during the 170K km I drove this car towards the 370K he is now, there was nothing really expensive to fix.
A T5 can be very reliable but you also can hit the jackpot when the dual mass flywheel gives up or the turbo blows up.
