There is a whole world out there and it is not VAG.

Ooh that's a tough one, let me guess, Bavarian, 3 letters?  :rolleyes:  :tongue:

The free insurance on a new driver has got to be well worth it for that alone.
Make sure you tick park assist if it's an option (once can never believe the configurator!  :roll eyes: ) to keep those expensive to fix alloys pristine.

Surprisingly the wife would only be £410 a year as a newly qualified driver and adding me as a 2nd driver with 12 years no claims and 3 points for speeding would add a tenner to her premium. Would definitely be getting the parking pack and DCC  (worth it to improve ride when wanting it soft on non MQB platform  for £245), pity ACC doesn't seem to be an option on the GTI. I will ask incase it is a price list or brochure error.

Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Firstly: You guessed wrongly
Secondly: You are being a very silly girl
Thirdly: You need a good spanking

I liken it to guys wearing pink, Only real men can get away with it  :whistle:

It's not true, even 'real' men can't get away with wearing pink  :tongue:

Mini's are girly, which is fine if you're a girl but otherwise?  Polo GTI every time, failing that A1.

A1 is spartan on equipment levels and a bit girly , mini Cooper a bit Fisher Price inside and a bit girly , Fiesta ST has a poor interior and not great on the residuals.


I think the 5 door A1 is less girly which seems to be a big thing for you Matt.

Is there something you want to confess to P3?

Only one of those things is true.

There's no shame in your undying devotion to Bayerische Motoren Werke.  I'm just not convinced you bought the right car.

Isn't it!  I'm crushed  :grin:

Darling, you need to keep up. There is a whole world of other forums out there! I am totally in love. You need to tip toe to THE other forum for the revelation. :kiss:

Otherwise, you'll be spanked!  :laugh:
