Hello all just joined the forum with a view of becoming a mk6 owner tomorrow.....
Ill try not to bore you all, sold my Impreza some 6 years ago after having a child and wishing to save some money and be sensible. Purchased a 04 Vectra CDTI for £2000 and owned that since > some may knock it but its been a good work horse.
Yesterday popped into local Nissan Dealership after spotting the mk6 from the road and was curious to see what price it was at.
Was told it had just been traded in by mature owner for a diesal Duke. Golf is a 10 plate with 29k and up for 14,995.
The missus was interested in the Nismo Duke and we took both both cars out for a spin. Ill be honest I did enjoy the Duke 200bhp from 1.6t, it went well tbh. The missus fell in love with the Duke but my heart kept going back to the GTI.
heres some pictures.
Brand new Duke on 3.5yrs PCP looking at £330 around per month.
If I go down the Golf route I could be looking a 5yr for arround 270 per month and is also willing to offer £1600 for the crappy vectra. The Nismo drove and went well but for me looked too girly even with the kit on.
Loved the golf, always wanted one but never owned or driven until yesterday. Certainly went well, popping back tomorrow to let the salesman know my decision. May I also mention that doing some online insurance qoutes was expecting the GTI to be expensive but qoutes came back around £240 mark cheaper payements than my vectra
