VW leather is known to be less than hard wearing plus it is not all genuine leather, some is made up of that dodgy stuff they call leather faced!!  :huh:

If I were you I'd go for the GTD with the cloth seats as mine are as good as the day I collected the car, you have the looks of a cloned GTI with the fuel consumption positives of a diesel, with the extra bit of va va voom.

Well that's ruined it for me Amanda, as I've always imagined you as a lady of leather  :evil:

Well my thigh length boots are leather of course, my whip thong is also leather and I also have leather hot pants.  Need I say more  :kiss:


What's that phrase I've heard before, this forums meaningless without photo's......

Neither

Ditto
You two!!  :rolleyes:

Now you see Gareth has a choice of two cars - both a Diesel - therefore neither petrol and that rules out the GTI so he's asking which diesel will be the better option not for one of you petrol loving boys to put down his new company car - so pay attention  :tongue:, back to the question - out of the two listed which is he better off getting?
We may drive petrols, but we're men of the world and can appreciate a good Diesel or two. But neither of these stir our loins like the mental picture of Amanda in her leather gear does.

Gareth (welcome Gareth, btw) doesn't stipulate that those are the only two car choices he has, merely that he has specced those two. We're just trying to save Gareth from himself as he has to suffer the purgatory he chooses for the length of his lease.
I think he needs to look a bit closer to home for which model to choose ... speed blue ... xenons and 7 digit nav as standard ... DAB and Bluetooth standard ... 18 inch alloys standard ... and this is where my forum marriage will disintigrate ...

 :grin:

I think your marriage is safe - has it ever been consumated? If not, it may be a sham marriage..... :shocked:

Hahaha, cheers all, I see there's a lot gone on since I last had chance to look /post.

The naysayers are correct; I don't just have a choice of those two models - basically I can have any 4/ 5 door diesel car I like up to £425 + VAT a month on a contract lease; 3 years, 20K per annum. As long as it's not a BMW (office politics because my MD has one and wants them to remain exclusive).

I'm hearing a lot of love for the GTD though, and I do think that's the one I'll plump for. Just need to get my order in now as the current contract expires in January 2012!

And for the record, I hate to be the stake driven between any formum marriages with my first post... I'll wait at least a month before going to those lengths!

Okay Gareth, the gloves are off.

Right, I'll slap you all with my pink (pale red obviously) marigolds if there is any more talk of that Spanish Lizard. :tongue:
