Title: What IF you gor rid of your mk4...
Post by: bobbarley on 29 August 2008, 19:56
Obviously a completely obscene question as I know you will all be keeping your mk4's until you reach the grave.  BUT, what car would it take for you to sell up your mk4?  As in what car would you get next, something that would tempt you enough to part with the mk4.

I reckon for me it'd probably be either a mk5 GTI ed30, or a Scirocco actually.  Or if the money gods are kind to me, M3/RS4 :)

Very true, and sticks to the road like glue on the corners.  But it gives you a numb bum after a couple of minute.  Driving position is horrible, and they're too low down :)

I'd get rid of mine for either an Edition 30 Mk5 GTI (in white or gun metal grey...unsure which is best)
Or, an RS4 if i had the funds....  Perhaps even the Mk6 GTI as im tempted by the proposed 250bhp, but i'll need to wait to see what it looks like first!
