Finally …
Need to drive my car more and more …

我哥哥最近有意購買一部日本版 TOYOTA ESTIMA 七座位汽車。日本版跟香港版有很多分別，尤其是功能方面，日本版高科技得多。其中一個高科技功能就是自動泊車系統。昨晚哥哥 send 了一個 video 給我看，令我嘆為觀指！
科技一日千里，二十年後汽車可能已不再需要由人來駕駛了。
我曾經說過，我是不會買 GTI 的！但是近日的誘惑使我心亂如麻，不知所措。女友突然奇來的默許（香港人俗稱 VISA），使我追求 GTI 的欲望推至最高峰。可是，當得悉希望幻滅的時候，心理卻有一種莫名奇妙的空虛。我不是說過，我是不會買 GTI 的嗎？為何我會為買不到 GTI 而不開心？
虛榮，這就是今次令小弟迷失本性、玩物喪智的惡魔。慶幸今次沒有『中伏』，免得小弟『千年道行一朝喪』。算吧！男人大丈夫講得出做得到，我應該為買不到 GTI 而開心的，因為我沒有令自己食言！
尋晚亞占士哥同埋亞珍姐嚟到我屋企附近 call 我話同我飲杯嘢喎，我當然係豪不猶豫咁應承佢地啦。換個快衫，跟住就一個箭步出咗去。一落到樓下就已經見到亞占士哥架 Audi A4 Avant 以其極之神秘嘅保護色（簡單啲講，姐喺黑色）哩埋咗喺一邊。我一步一步咁慢慢行過去，我心情固然興奮，但係又有點緊張。終於，行到埋去，一睇，嘩，架車真係好靚，絕對係人間極品！
內籠
一坐到上架車已經發覺 Audi 絕對並不是浪得虛名，無論內籠佈局同用料都真係十分講究，攪到我坐喺亞占士哥架車咁耐，摸足佢 … 架車個內籠咁耐，重要一路摸一路嗌『嘩，好正呀！』、『嘩，好勁呀！』，愈摸愈 high（係愈嗌愈 high 先啱）！跟住我地就去咗鯉景灣飲嘢。
引擎
架 Audi A4 Avant 雖然用同 GTI 一樣嘅 2.0T FSI engine，但係就無 GTI 嗰種爆炸力。可能係因架車比 GTI 重好多，同埋唔係用 DSG 波箱（佢用 Multi-tronic 波箱）嘅關係所至。整體嚟講，架車尚算好力。
避震
占士哥架 A4 係屬於 S-Line 版本，避震比普通版硬，其吸震同反彈表現非常好，硬過 A6 Avant S-Line（可能因為 A6 Avant S-Line 跟 18 吋軨，又要有舒適嘅感覺，所以避震無咁硬），但係又未至於好硬，我覺得 GTI 個避震硬啲、穩定啲。沙板同車胎（車頭）啱啱好有兩隻手指位距離，車身高度適中。
軨，車胎
唔係好明點解 S-Line 版本都只係跟 16 吋軨，唔係話唔夠用，但係就唔係好襯 S-Line 個 image。以 2.0T FSI engine 個 torque 咁高，17 吋軨會適合好多，一來靚仔啲，二來又唔會怕唔夠力。車胎方面使用 Michelin，Michelin 個特性得一個字 … 『靜』，其它特性欠奉，所以高速行駛（尤其係轉彎）時有啲浮。
評論
占士哥架 Audi A4 Avant 個 default setup 已經好正，可以唔洗點改。有時唔係話要改嘢架車先會勁嘅，最靚嘅 setup 其實就係 default setup（以 overall performance 嚟講）。不過如果占士哥都想遲啲 mod 下架車，可以考慮下換 18 吋胎軨先，18 吋胎軨可以增加轉彎穩定性。用 19 吋胎軨雖然係會靚仔啲（我曾經見過一架白色嘅 A4 Avant S-Line 用 19 吋 BBS CH，好鬼靚！），但係我就覺得唔好玩 19 吋喇，因為好易 “r”，又無力。跟住玩到咁上吓先至好諗下換硬啲個避震同 chip 架車，不過最好過咗保養期先好 chip，否則大昌有權唔保。

GTI?! I am not going to get it.

Der Neue (”The New” in German) Volkswagen Golf GTI is great - It has a powerful engine (200bhp 2.0T FSI engine), a super fast response gearbox (DSG double-clutch gearbox), a strong and rigid laser-welded chassis (the new A5 platform), and a set of good looking GTI body kit, etc. This car is perfect. My friends keep asking me to get one. But do I need one? I don’t think so.
There are some reasons why I am not going to get one:
- I have a Golf 2.0 FSI which is 16 months old. It shares the same chassis and most of the options (except those GTI unique options) with der neue GTI. It doesn’t really make sense for me to trade my 16 month-old car and get one which is something similar to what I have now.
- I am not that rich like I can afford a new car every 16 months.
- If I really want to get a new car, it is not necessary for me to get der neue GTI. My 2.0 FSI is already the second Golf I have in my life (I had a 1994 MK3 Golf 2.0 GL). I think I should try something else. Volkswagen is going to launch lots of new cars (12 new cars by 2008!). I better focus on something other than Golf. I am not saying I don’t like Golf. I love Golf, but I love Volkswagen more.
- Der neue GTI is powerful but unfortunately I drive very slow. I don’t think I can fully unleash its power. I will just waste it. (Note: my normal driving speed is not like 160 km/h!)
- There are too many GTIs on the street. The number of GTIs (450+) is more than double the number of 2.0 FSIs (220+) in Hong Kong. I want something unique.
- Der neue GTI attracts not only Volkswagen enthusiasts but also aliens. They look for heavy mods and the shits I don’t like. I don’t mind they drive GTI but I do mind their BS.
- Last but not least, I love what I have now! I love my 2.0 FSI!
Der neue Golf GTI is great but I will not get it due to the above reasons. I will get one IF (AND ONLY IF) I win Mark 6 (the first prize HK$30,000,000 I mean).
正所謂別人擁護我捨棄、別人捨棄我擁護，所以我係唔會買 GTI 嘅，R32 就可能會諗下。不過應該都係得個諗字，無錢！
