Farewell my Bonnie.

So when's the new car arriving?

TBH I've not placed an order yet, I've test driven the Fiesta S1600 which is similar to the Sport special edition which is the one I will probably go for, but as yet there is no date for orders, and all this is if I can really let my GTI go

Bonnie and Amanda is like Bonnie and Clyde, without the sad end, I hope.

LOL, I am in turmoil.  The Fiesta does not have the build quality of the Golf but it is a smaller, cheaper and neater package.  You may say go for a Polo; yes I could but tbh I'm not so smitten with it.  If only manufacturers would stop bringing new cars out to tempt and titillate.  FFS I sound like James Gould  shall I? shan't I? anyone got a shotgun?

A-MAN-DA:

How can I influence you not to go through the change?

Ask yourself the following:
Could you constantly look and touch the plastics in the Fiesta?
Would the lack of Jacara Cloth and the best seats in the business be missed?
Would the loss of Dynaudio and the Reverse Cam be mourned?
Would the measly saving financially make up for the loss of not owning and driving an Icon?
Is not the pleasure of owning something special priceless?
Do you love yourself?
Are you going mad?

I have a gun.

Now, please make up your mind to please me.

OR,

I'LL ..........

Saw a polo gti in the flesh yesterday for the first time. I was quite impressed by the look of it. Whats the cost diff between the fiesta and polo?

I very nearly bought the Polo GTI DSG 7speed , but the pram would just not fit in there  This maybe the next car once the little one grows up a bit . They have a lot of pace and quick !!

Get a Polo GTI if you can stretch to it

The missis saw one first and turned me towards one. I'd never even thought about one until she mentioned it and after the test drive I'm glad she did.

178bhp - 1200kg - 47 mpg (combined cycle) and stock are turning out 0-60 in just over six seconds

Personally I think it actually looks better than the Golf MKVI GTI

Having driven one for more or less the last 4 months I can confirm it is a ridiculous car. Dsg 7 speed is a joy think soft mini cooper s......

Humm, decisions, decisions.

I wish I had no interest in cars, that I was over 60 with a free bus pass or too far gone to care. 

Gonna take a saunter round all the dealerships looking at all supermini cars and will then probably make my decision which will possibly be to stop making a fool of myself and keep the GTI.

Dearest. Size matters. You don't want to go too small. Where's the fun in that.

Wolfgang says - It's not the size of the ship that counts, it's the motion of the ocean.
Bonnie says - But who wants a tug boat when one can get a battleship.

Bonnie is right, this time.
