Hi all,

Kevin's the name from Sydney, Australia.

Just picked up a new MY15 Cruze (Holden over here) SRi-V. Had to buy a auto to suit the role I will be using the car for, but still prefer manuals.

With that said, I have an old 61 VW Beetle which is now EFI & Turbo and a manual box

So far, love the car but miss that manual trans driving style. Can't just load it up and drive off, now kicks down gears and revs up.

Welcome to the forum Kevin. I'm in Perth, WA. Love your Beetle. Lots of information and problems on here about the Chevy Models but not too much about the Holden or the reliability of the 1.6T engine. 1.6T not available in the US. II have had no issues with mines so far and just had the 15k service done. Still love driving the car every day.

Thanks guys and yes Allynic, shame for them that they only get the 1.4L

Wonder if the tuning mobs will be able to help us with our 1.6L

6 speed Manual is available. Kev opted for the Auto for work / driving reasons. Kev, I have not looked for any tuning solutions as I will be keeping mines stock but it would be nice to tune the turbo lag out.

Hi all and thanks for the welcome.

Allynic, have to say with the Auto I haven't noticed any turbo lag
