Advice needed? or Just convincing myself

i paid 16k in october with 19k on the clock 05. just remember that your car will need its first MOT soon and also service at 30k miles if not long life. so if you make a deal be sure to get these thrown in as a freebie.

The silver sorround is a aftermarket thing. You can buy it from VW I think as the Eos comes with it standard. Check the maintanence section under the thread I posted there. You will find lots of different interior trims etc...

Thanks all for your assistance...I have made my mind up..

After driving the 170 GTTDi today realised that I would hate to be stuck on the inside of one of these things, they are so basic (sorry GT Dudes).  What a miserly array of features....even the 1.9 Match is better kitted out. It drove well though

Any hoo its a GTi for me!

Question is now which one...I can have an 06 Black with basic spec or £14.9k OR this tasty red DSG 05/05 for £14.6k Warranty up in May (if indeed it qualifies since the local VW dealer says its missed a service, now i have to check that the local garage used VW parts)......

Then there is always Mark_Eire and his fantastic example..but not sure my pennies will stretch and I have to get myself to Dublin twice...Hmmm.....

Funny when you start looking you think that these cars are easily available, then you look again and they just dont all stack up to your requirements.

So its the older, cheaper better specced DSG or the newer bare bones 06 (55) er at this time, perhaps I should wait a week or so and see what gets traded in as its the change over time?

Car just doesnt feel the same to me.
