Which other cars did you consider before buying the Mk6?
« on: 16 October 2009, 18:10 »
I test drove a Focus ST and sat in an RS.
Also thought about a Civic type R but the engine did not suit me.

Really glad I bought VW, no regrets.

I Googled the Alfa MiTo GTA.  What a shame Fiat dropped the concept, 237bhp and cheaper than a Mini.  I still would have gone for the VW GTI, you need a good dealer near when you buy an Alfa.

Drove an Astra VXR and a Civic Type R. Liked the former but not the latter.
Wife didn't like the Focus ST as she thought it was cheap.
I was never going to buy a Skoda and I don't like the shape of the Leon.
So it was only ever going to be the Golf, a Scirocco or the VXR. Once driven, the Golf won me over instantly.

Still not sure it's worth £5k more than a VXR though!! So I don't think about the money and just enjoy the car.
