Getting a mk4 golf

[Steve_PD]

I actually prefer the look of the Seat. Looks more like a car and less like a lump of lard. It's a better drive so is the driver's choice really.

So why the F*ck did you buy a mk4 then. sell the f*cking thing and get a car you like

I will. I still need to fix a few things though, it's costing me a bit of money so I might have to keep it a while. For some reason some twit put a mk3 front suspension part on the front left, the garage were wondering why it looked different and they called today to say they've worked it out. So I'm going to get the rear bushes changed to vRS because one of them has worn out and probably TT bushes in the front and maybe I'll start being happier.

should have really drove a few cars before buying it.

I agree the S logo is not good. It's too big and pronounced, and dull. But really apart from that the Leon looks pretty decent.

It's got a great big, fat arse, though!

I would go for a Ford Focus or Seat Leon.

If you do get a mk4 get a diesel because the petrols are not that good. And be prepared to have to spend a bit on the suspension to get the handling half decent. The Audi S3 is decent too but expensive.

not true, if you get a petrol go for the 1.8 t nothing else! all the others are too slow.

cant comment on a diesel never driven one

What about the V6 4M & R32??!!   (& maybe the 170 V5 at a push, lol! )

You're right I should have. Lesson learnt.

defo get the 1.8t model or gt tdi. Any of the VAG group cars with the 1.8t lump in are good fun, sadly for buyers the golfs hold there money abit more than the others, ive just bourght a octavia vrs which has the 1.8t lump but runs 180bhp standard. I wish id researched abit more before buying my golf and i would have bourght the octavia vrs as there cheaper and actually better cars in stock form, no offense ment to everyone with golfs 

Just take your time looking round to find a good clean one mate, don't rush into anything.

It's true though isnt it, in standard form the Golf isnt worth the money. Everyone seems to want one so the price gets stupidly inflated. Amazing what a name can do.

wow...thanks for all the replies!

tbh i wasnt expecting so many so soon but this is great!!!

i like the look of the audi and the golf especially but i'm not so sure about the seat. What kind of price am i looking at for the s3 and how does it compare to the 1.8 20vt. Also, how will the 1.8 20vt compare with the gt tdi 150 and is that the fastest deisel?

thanks again, Louis tate

The 150 is the fastest diesel, there's a 130 too which is decent. They'll give better fuel economy than with the 1.8T which might sway you considering the way things are going with fuel prices.
