Cheers S11EPS
I test drove one yesterday (1.6) and was very impressed with how solid it felt and its handling, the guy took me on a good variety of roads - straights and bendy country lanes. I was also contemplating, forgive me, a Toyota Corolla 1.6 T3 V VTi, which I test drove today, the engine of the Toyota felt more revvy and slightly quicker off the mark, but it just didn't have the handling and feel of the VW - The Toyota would have saved me a couple of K - but in the long term I want a motor I will be happy with for a long time and the MK5 swung it for me and plus it's a VW.
I didn't get a bad deal, neither was it a brilliant deal. But becuase I'd only had my MK4 from the dealership for little over a month and I wasn't happy with it, they're letting me exchange it without losing any cost for what I paid for the car. The car I test drove yesterday was at a different dealership because I was in the area at the time - they would have charged me a grand more than what I'm currently paying because I didn't get my MK4 from them.
There are no options on it - I would have liked to have had the sporty seats with the Opera Anthrecite covering but that was only available on the GT TDI models.
Are you tempted to go for one S11EPS?
