Ok if a golf is to much would a polo or lupo be cheap and fun I really do want a vw and then maybe euro look it
What about a MK3 1.4 GL. MK3's are simple to modify, and look the part when slammed to the deck. Sure the 1.4 isn't going to break any landspeed records, but it's alright.
I've literally just been doing quotes for my missus who is a first time driver with no NCB.
I managed to get a quote for a MK3 1.4 GL for £1380 ish, and a Polo 1.3 for £1325 ish.
