good choice or not
« on: 10 November 2010, 12:33 »
Hi guys ive currently got a mk3 1.4, but have been offered a mk2 1.8 4+e, Now personally i prefer the looks of the mk2 but performance and fuel consumption wise im not sure which would be better, obviously a push bike would be quicker than my mk3 1.4 so im guessing the mk2 would be ok  but for general driving ability and fuel consumption what is my best bet.
please help im stuck on this one
cheers

2. Men will respect you.

+1 haha you do get the odd person on the street that admires the car. Picked my mate up from work y'day, and his mate who was outside told him to tell me he likes my car. Always warms my insides when someone appreciates it :)
