It's worth noting, I pay £1100 insurance on my 8v GTi, I got a quote on the new Polo, which is actually quicker than what I am used to and it's £400! first year insurance is free too.

All servicing is included in the first 3 years and tax is only £95 instead of my current £240 odd I pay now. Not to mention things going wrong constantly and things still aren't fixed which bugs me.

Right now I feel the decision for a new car is my better option as almost guaranteed knowing my luck I would get a 'good' second hand car and I'd still end up paying a good few thousand sorting it out.

People will always moan about new cars but it's what's right for me right now. I may regret it, or I may love it but it's what I think is the right decision right now. :cool:

Needless to say shady I think we can all agree that a little polo with a tiny engine has always been your calling

No, how come?

Yeah Nick, was planning on it but not until after the first year as I'll be on VW insurance, apparently they really don't like you fettling anything, so will enjoy its standardness for a year first.
