Vag Dervs
« on: 04 February 2013, 09:16 »
Hi guys! Recently sold my a4 b6 tdi and now in the market for another diseasel but something much smaller as running the MK2 for 500 miles a week is proving rather costly! I've kinda narrowed my sights down to a Leon FR tdi, a Fabia VRS or a Golf GT TDI. Just wondering if anyone has experiences they would like to share? It would be a huge help!
Cheers

vRS drives like a lump hammer - too much weight at the front, although it is only a pain when you're really pushing it.

Leon much more balanced.  Trim fell to pieces in my parent's one.

Which leads you back to the Golf TDI.

How much space do you need?  There are some sparky little Polo GT TDIs out there too.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I'm doing a music degree so often need abit of space for some guitars and the odd drum kit. It will probably end up being the leon or the golf! Im assuming your vote would then be for the Golf?

Even without bias, what DH has said is exactly true. Golf would be your best bet.

Golf is the best option or look for an estate for even more room
