Yeah, it's my TDI Golf and I drove it up the twisting, nasty 8 mile road to top at 6,288 ft. First and second gear all the way up (mostly first gear). First gear only on the way down. Part dirt road, part paved and part gravel. Freezing rain on the way down in July. No guardrails and massive drop offs. Barely room for two vehicles to pass each other in the opposite lanes. It was not something I enjoyed doing. The car handled it effortlessly. You could smell the brakes burning from the other cars as you drove by them.
Average fuel consumption on my 1800 mile vacation was 46.1 MPG. To say I'm happy with the car is an understatement.
