lol @ the poxy VW reference 
Jap will always be the way forward
get one then
i already have one, its what i grew up on
they are fantastic, dont underrstand why your here if you think this, and dont give me the insurance crap, i had my swift gti before i passed my test when i was 17 and even did my test in it!! haha. cost me £2300 to insure it, the car was 5 years old at the time and its the best car i ever had (still got it)
i paid my insurance monthy, and just had a regular job, but the money spent was worth it
but io do love my golfs too (for other reasons, and i think you will/do too but wont admit it)
