WTB: 2.5GT, Auto

Satnav should be a bonus not a prerequisite

According to BBB- the sat nav is poor, and if your car doesn't have it already, don't buy or install one.
You'd be better off spending some $ on a double din head unit with sat nav on that. Not many liberties have sat nav, so your options will be limited!

Well, I had Sat Nav in my old Lib but it looks slightly different to whats in the Spec B's in terms of the UI. It's pretty close, but just fractionally different. The typeface they used on the maps itself is worse in the Spec B too. The one I had is the same as that found in the Gen V Pre-FL.

I mean, it's not great, but it's nice to have it in built and still as it came from the factory. But, like many have said, I'll probably have to go without it initially and see what happens.

There's one or two I'd consider which are on carsales at the moment. I saw and drove a nice one a couple of months ago which was in my budget but I hadn't sold my car at that point. I'd consider a 3.0R premium but I'm not thrilled by the cream interior.

I might have to go without sat nav and install at a later point. Would rather get a well looked after car even if it doesn't have sat nav.

Jarrod, are you looking at selling or just mentioning that you have an auto Spec B?

Only had mine 4 months so not looking to sell, just stating they do exist.

I dont use the SatNav, it just happened to come with the car I wanted. But in terms of good / poor Id say it measures up with the Garmin / TomTom you could buy in terms of picture quality and the screen size is great and located in a good position to view.

Too much to ask?

They don't come around as often as I thought!

Took me 3 months to find mine.

Ok, so changing this up....

I was so sure I wanted a 3.0.. nearly bought one but just wasn't happy with all the little niggles it had, so I decided not to.

Drove a 2.5GT the other day and was really impressed. Liked the power delivery a lot more than the 3.0. I felt like the 3.0 was either sluggish down low or insane when you put your foot down but no real moderate feeling. This basically contrast everything I've read about this car though, so I'm not! Might have just been the one I drove.

2.5 on the other hand felt like it was a bit of a hassle to work out exactly when the boost kicked on or how much of a 'rush' I would feel. Guess that comes with a bit more of a drive, but I think I just prefer the feeling over the 3. Only other turbo car I've ever taken for a spin is a 2.0 TDI Golf, so it was all fairly new to me.

So yeah, on the lookout for a 2.5GT instead. Probably would prefer not getting the Spec B because I feel like they can be a little harsh on the road, but still with an open mind in that regard. Much prefer something that isn't modified.

Got myself into something last night. Not exactly what I wanted, but still pretty happy never the less.

Will post a build thread, I reckon, now that I'm my second Gen IV!

Good stuff mate, what you get?
