Whatever you get, try 2 baby seats and a child in the back first They only just squeeze into the back of a scenic...

Yup will do, 1 of the spec's I want is ISOfix Anchors, anyone know if they come with 2 fixtures or 1 ?

I wanted a 5.5 Passat but the wife says they look like Grandad's cars  Showed her a Silver Bora (after she saw a black one and liked it) and said ewww no that's ugly and grandadish...

A 53plate A3 has 2 isofix anchors, so i'd assume similar aged VWs do

Go on UK Passats and show her some of the cars on there!
Plus ben's of course!

[Jay]

ermm... after having a lowered Golf (-80mm) she WON'T want another lowered car, especially when she starts to drive. 

[Len]

Only need to do a Passat 40mm and it looks a lot better!

I don't think you're understanding the needs for the car... family car = standard suspension.

My brother just picked up a 2000 reg bora, black, 46,000 miles, fsh ect for 2k. There are bargains out there, just got to be patient and look around. Is only the 115bhp TDi but still a bargain imo.

If you want a big boot then buy a Passat! Its huuuuge!
Plus more common than a Bora so easier to get spares and tuning/styling parts.

Last time I checked Jay wasn't 50+ ha ha.

Bora is an awesome car. All the great bits of the MKIV Golf in a better looking body with more space for less money.

My Dad's had 2 PD 130 Sports and he rates them amongst the best cars he has ever owned. Praise indeed from a man who's had a Lotus Elan S2, A lotus Cortina MKI, an Alfasud Ti, A Saab 900 Turbo Carlsson, a Alfa 155 Cloverleaf, a MKIII Golf VR6, Citreon BX19 GTI 16v, Jag X typre 2.0 TD, MG Badged Rover 75 TD (can never remember what they're called!) etc etc.

a lot of motor for ya cash

jay, let me know your budget and requirements, i will source you a decent motor, Ben now drives a passat i highlighted to him, 


cos last time you didnt listen and bougth the FRONTERROR 

It was £7k, but we've decided to be a bit more sensible and go for £2-£5k now, needs LOADS of space so a saloon/Estate/Sharan'esque(Zafira?).

I was going to get a 2006 Jetta, but we've changed our price range.

5k will get you a LOT of motor.

Diesel ?

Estate is a LOT more practical til you mentioned the wife learning to drive 

[Jay]

Oh too add to the PM Chuff, she DOESN'T want to learn to drive now... 

Pregnant woman eh?
