Thanks for all the replies. I will not be ready to start looking until next year. At least now I know what to look out for.
Have a look around, you can get a very decent GTI for around the £22-25k fully spec'd also. I picked mine up for £22k and is fully spec'd apart from no xenons
I do love it having it for over 2 months now, and its absolutely brilliant to drive. Averaging about 33 mpg which is a mixture of A roads and short distance driving.
One thing i did notice was the wind noise on the motor way hitting 70-80mph.. Do anyone else experience that also? (And yes all the windows are closed..
)
