WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Well guys and gals,

Time for a bit of fun.

IF VAG did not exist (heaven forbid) and you were restricted to ONLY a choice of cars from above as a daily runaround, which would you choose and why! Comparisons to VAG allowed :wink:

My vote went with the Ford (reluctantly!), I've test driven them all (except Civic)as I like to waste salespeeps time....errr... make a judgement on which car I should think about :rolleyes:

Megane feels like you are having your spine taken out through your backside everytime you go over a bump...and in Sheffield there are plenty of bumps!

MPS actually wasn't too bad drivingwise and gave a huge punt when the throttle is stabbed. Doesn't look too bad with the sportpack addenda. Unfortunately when you turn the wheel it keeps going straight on and it is too softly sprung, plus the interior is truely awful :sick:.

VXR  - I must agree with Clarkson that it pulls towards the pavement when you drop the hammer. Inside was better than I thought, but feels rather claustrophobic.

Civic - Haven't had the chance to drive one yet. Didn't like the old one and so the new one with the cheaper suspension will most likely be worse anyway.

ST - Bit too softly sprung, doesn't feel fast, inside is cheaper looking, but it does handle quite well. I also liked the 5 cylinder quattrolike burble. I wouldn't have one as it does look too chav and they are fast approaching chavavailability levels in price.

 :cool:

The Megane wins it hands down for me. Forgetting the fact it will go wrong, the handling and pace are awesome.

I seriously considered one but I just can't get on with those looks. And it feels cheap compared to the Golf.

Agree - none of the above with my own money.

Golf GT TDI or a Porsche Boxster S/Cayman S:wink:

Would be the focus but the prices are dropping drastically and they are to thirsty.

Had the old shape CTR for 9 months and hated it.

Drove a megane, they are OK but french.

MPS looks dreadfull.

So for me the only one left is the Astra, then again its a Vauxhall.....so ST for me.
