To cut a long story short, I originally set myself a budget of 25k to 30k and treat myself to a really nice “sports†car. So, what did I always hanker for but could never afford? I originally looked at 993's. OK, the cars retain their value but the cost of maintenance/parts eventually put me off (and I’m really useless at DIY car maintenance).
I also needed something that I could use to commute to work. So what next? I’d never had a GTI, when I was young my mate had brand new Mk1 and I thought it was brill then. Hence my order for the Mk6. Now it’s gone to BW10, I thought I’d look at something else.
A TT? Same 2+2 seat configuration (I have a 5 and 7 year old) as the 993, but hopefully a bit cheaper to maintain. So with SWMBO, the two lads and me we hit the showrooms again. The lads just wanted to do is sit in all the cars, I think we must have impressed the staff. Anyway, we tried the TT but with the drivers seat set up for me there wasn’t much room for anyone’s legs sitting behind me. The S3 ticks the boxes (technically), but the looks put me off. And Audi have just increased their prices as of 1-Dec. And they don't offer a service pack for £250.
