Title: Which one?
Post by: AlanD on 18 May 2012, 11:29
Just out of interest and no reason in particular, which of these would you go for?

Audi A3 Sportback 5 Dr 2.0 TDI 140 Black Edition
Volkswagen Golf MK6 3 Door 2.0 TDI GTD
Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0 JTDM-2 140 Lusso

More interested in the Alfa and if anyone has driven / got an experience with one.

the Giulietta is a super car, but i only drove it for a couple days, so not sure of how well they are built. Very comfy and a great drive.

I believe you have to get the Polo, purely on the basis that it's petrol powered.

Although I have to say I've always believed you're a gurt big diesel-loving nonce anyway.
Title: Re: Which one?
Post by: scarr89 on 18 May 2012, 17:47
GTD I'd say.

Audi A3 Sportback 5 Dr 2.0 TDI 140 Black Edition
Volkswagen Golf MK6 3 Door 2.0 TDI GTD

Some people say you're not a moto head unless you have owned a Alfa?
But the Giulietta is a bit of a birds motor  :undecided:
I wish company cars included classic cars :cool:

This was also a concern for me. Ill make my mind after driving it and having a proper look at one at the dealer. The one thing that bugs me is the A3. That black edition comes with some many extras as Audi are practically giving them away.

I like the GTD but having owned a MK4 and then a MK5 for the last 6-7 years I sort of fancy a change, Ive not ruled it out though. Might be worth test driving the GTD?
Title: Re: Which one?
Post by: bobbarley on 19 May 2012, 11:09
Even better, test drive the Docs, then you'll never look at another car :)

Alfa's fall to bits , the Audi looks dated the gtd is reliable and very refined & smooth !!

Alfa's fall to bits

Rubbish, my last car was an Alfa and it was spot on in the three years I owned it. Mito is a girly car, the Giulietta is ok in my opinion. They drive and corner well though and have decent levels of equipment
Title: Re: Which one?
Post by: Jay on 19 May 2012, 13:37
After spending lots of time in an Alfa over the last few years I've come to really like them, the older ones falls to bits but so do most older cars, nothing a few cable ties can't sort out though  :grin:  :lipsrsealed:



I'd still get the Polo GTI, it looks better than the GTD, there are too many Audi's about now and quite boring to look at, the Alfa seems the only other choice... but it's diesel. It's logical.
Title: Re: Which one?
Post by: R32UK on 19 May 2012, 14:23
I had a alfa for 3 days... it was just about worthy of a dustbin afterwards.

anyone that drives a audi... well just read some our resident bird julies reply to see why you shouldnt get one.

the GTD wins.. its like a mk5 with a nicer interior.

So your saying to me that a MK6 GTD doesn't hold its money better than an Alfa ?
Title: Re: Which one?
Post by: Hartside on 20 May 2012, 10:53
In my case yes. Traded mine against my current mk6 and after 3 years got 51% of its original value
