I'm not Klaus, but I'd say get it. I love my T5...I bought mine having to change both the timing belt and tires. Mine's not a rocket (especially off the line - the 2.3L engine is pretty small without the turbo at full boost), but it's certainly fast. The end of 1st gear is crazy fast, and passing from about 55-75 is insane. Things to check again before you buy it: TEST THE A/C. If it is not ice cold within a minute or so, there is probably a leak in the evaporator (~$1200 to have someone else do), check the transmission fluid color & level, and pull out the dipstick once the car is warmed up & running & see if you see any smoke from it. Poke around the engine compartment for oil leaks.
