I am old skool at heart but would like a modern motor, still can bring myself to buy a Skoda though, just can't do it. Guy at work has the VRs Octavia, its nice, but its a Skoda, can't do it and can't make me.
Audi is out as I need the 5 door thing, that leaves the Golf or Leon.
Leon has more power but probably feels cheaper than the Golf, its a toughie, will have to get out and test some.
