I don't like mk 4 golf .They are too many around.They all look the same to me. I would only want a mk 3 ..I've still got my silver 03 astravan and it's in near mint condition .It's a tdi and goes ok so I wont be driving the Almera much and still got something to fiddle about with....I liked the mk 3 because they look really good when all the wheel arch protectors and all the other plastic was properly back to blacked..VW designers certainly done us proud when they brought the mk3..................Mk4 ...2 a penny.

Big up the Mk3 then! But you are preaching to the converted here mate!

I do hope you let your wife read all of this thread! She might just change her deluded mind!

Sorry no offense meant!

Fair do's jaygee, fair do's. I hope your wife gets really bored of the almeria very quickly so that you can remedy this disastrous situation.  :laugh: :laugh:

Good luck anyway.  :smiley:

 WELL, got the Almera 1.5................WHAT A HEAP OF CARP..

In my time I have had a lot of cars/vans and have never been so disappointed with any as I am with this Almera (that includes a Morris Marina).Without exagerrating it's like driving a sponge.You put your toe down and nothing happens it's no better than a 1 litre car and it's supposed to be a 1.5...The only thing in it's favour is that it don't look too bad as it's the new model with the big back lights and modern front lights..Why nissan moved the radio aerial from the back ( like vw )to the front I don't know as it looks out of place,and too long..

The thing is less than 2 years old and already i've spotted some rust coming through from the inside of the rear wing  and the rear bumper is out of line ..I've only driven it back from the dealer and it's going back there on tuesday to be fixed..The wife aint had a go yet as she works in daytime and after driving more than 20 years she don't like driving in the dark.....I know she wont like driving  it as the dashboard is too wide and leaves you sitting too far back from the screen..

I came back with the car and can only describe my feeling as physically sick and it cost over 5 grand...My diesel van goes much better... what a mug   :cry:

Feel for you mate, really do  :sad:

A lad at work and his missus chopped in her Polo GTI for one of them 1.5 jobbies and he's done nothing but moan about the lack of grunt in it ever since! did say it'd hit 125...eventually   :rolleyes: :grin:

Hope you manage to get another dub soon cos I couldn't have any other car myself  :wink:
