Thats a great deal and car to be fair. Did you have a VW before you went over to the dark side?

£20k came with new discs and pads all round, 2 free services, 1 years warranty and i got them to refurb all four wheels. So not exactly ripped off  :wink:

£20k? it's an 07 cars isnt it? Seems quite a bit of money to me, but what do I know, I paid more for my 'inferior' GTI.

An 08 57 plate. Last of the pre-facelifts (better looking version) Not that much, i bought it in June 2011 so only just 3 years old, was £32k new.

Just have a look what 20k buys you in the used golf market asker, then say a 265bhp s3 is bad value :wink:

well each to their own i guess, but i think i'd rather start with a decent bhp fig & awd & then sort out the suspension myself,  but as i say, we're all different. To my personal way of thinking, I'd be going for an awd 170tdi a3 over a fwd golf gtd, spend the money saved on a couple of mods & enjoy a lot of the benefits of a gtd with the added safety in winter / ability to get all the power down of the awd....... But as Jules has said, the R32 is a hard car to move on from;) Now if it would just stop losing value ......I could keep both kidneys;)

Its what we did but i find it borring to drive sadly, its a good car and from an engineering point much superior built and finished off imo than the golf but to me its a car nothing more.

I think you should just run the mazda and forget about a change..
