Is it possible to disconnect the stop-start system?
Hello, is it possible to disconnect the stop-start system on a 2010 Volkswagen Passat 1.4 DSG TSI? I find it annoying and I am not convinced it does anything to lower fuel consumption.

Which fast Volkswagen Golf to buy next year?
If you were buying a fast Golf in 2015 and did about 20,000- to 25,000km a year would you have a Golf R, Golf GTI Performance or Golf GTD? Also, I have driven automatics for the last few years and like them, but would you have DSG or manual in these cars? I'm thinking GTI performance with DSG is a nice balance, as the R still has higher road tax and presumably insurance and performance that will only lose me my licence, while the GTD might be a little pedestrian.
Would value your opinion.

Is the Suzuki Grand Vitara a good buy?
Hi, can you please let me know if the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 petrol from 2006/2007 would be a good buy? Wwhat are the most common faults if any? I previously had a diesel SUV, but I had to have the injectors etc replaced, which cost about €2,000. I have about €6,000 budget and a very small fixed income.
Thank you
