Re: Comments appreciated--128 vs. GTI

I understand that, for instance, the oil-change interval is rather long. I have heard of many owners getting "extra" oil changes done on their own dime (rather, about 100 bucks).

I can understand that, if you are going to keep it a while, or just want to do what's right by the car.

Accumulator--you're pushing me away from black, are you? I understand your concern. I had an '02 Focus (divorce mode) which I ordered black. I was OK with it, though it did not seem to be a hard paint.

I would never, ever get a larger vehicle in black. I did my brother's gray Tahoe, and then told him to find a detailer.

I liked the Black Sapphire Metallic because I wanted to special order a Terra interior (a Priority One option), which is the color of a football (think Saddle Brown). I'm not sure which other colors it would look good with.

That said, I am leaning toward the 128. I still welcome comments.
