Finally my golf gti is no more........end of the fast life, and now to the slow life... 4.5 yr old mark 6 gti for £10,700 at 31,000 miles part exchange for a 2014 Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SD4 nine speed auto in grey. Happy times with my golf cruising down M1 in the fast lane all the way down south (sorry i was a bit of an aggressive driver).
Reason choosing the Evoque was due to 10% off with cousin working at JLR as a designer. Would of wanted the RR Sport but no discount as too new and demand was too high and without that discount was over my budget.
Been on here for ages since when i first got this golf. After paying off the golf last September had contemplated other cars such as the audi S4 advant, a secondhand A7, secondhand 6series grancoupe, BMW 4 series and even the Porsche Macan but that was too expensive (£50,000 inc essentials) and alas finally gone for the Evoque because it made financial sense- how could one turn down 10% off?
The refinement is unreal and looks really good albeit bit slow at 0-60 in 8.5 secs and a top speed of 121mph.
