hi all
« on: 01 July 2006, 14:35 »
hi all - I'm here because after many company cars mainly Passat Tdi s I have finally taken the plunge and ordered a golf gt tdi 170 for a change - always fancied one so have gone for it. :smiley:

Need a diesel as its a work car and i like the thought of getting high 40s mpg.

cant wait to get it but dreading the lead time. :cry:

Will post the pics when i get it!

Hello and welcome

I must admit I do like a good diesel and that 170PS TDI does sound like a great piece of kit. What colour/spec are you going for?

I had a Golf Plus as a courtesy car last year, it was the 90PS TDI model and that was slow, I couldnt even imagine what the 1.4 petrol would be like. Why do they even bother putting that engine in it!?  :laugh:

hi m8

kept it simple really....

gone for a black,silver or new river blue one with grey seats - 3 door
as for extras  - centre armrest, and thats about it.
was thinking about the 2zone climate control but i then have to start paying extra to the company.

The golf plus theyve given me to use is a 1.4petrol - i think its got...wait for it ....75ps !

u have to thrash it to make it keep up the lorrys !!

do es anyonebody know what functionality the midline computer has compared to the highline one?

welcome  :smiley:

Highline one displays a bit more info like Radio station etc and allows you to set features with regards to lighting etc.

check out the MKV section for more info - the peeps there recommend it  :smiley:

check this thread  :smiley:
