Pimp the wagon or go Aldi?
« on: 29 March 2014, 09:20 »
I've just asked the same question over in UKmk3's so as expected it was particularly biased feedback i received so thought I'd get some more opinions here as well, basically I've got a little bit of money to use on car stuff but I've found myself in a dilemma...

Either spend the money on my current mk3 TDI wagon or use it along with the money I'd raise from selling everything mk3 i own to buy an Audi A4 TDI Avant?

Discuss!

I would love to say spend it on the wagon, but I would go Aldi!

The Audi will be standard whereas the Golf will be to your taste.

No brainer IMO = the Wagon!

More funds will come along and you will have money to play with it.

It's a mk3 so you'll end up replacing things that brake constantly, in the end.

Just to add ive also been looking at mk1 Seat Leon TDI PD130 /150 which ive always liked although the boot space will be a bit smaller than the mk3 wagon and A4 Avant.

Well no contest! If you can live with less boot space go for the Leon!

What year avant though? A subtly modded avant will always look better than a G-wagon
