Yeh miss it so much, had the MK2 at same time as the S2000 last summer,
it just wasnt getting used.



Sometimes the S2000 wasnt the only reason

Feel the urge to buy another mrk2 now cheers Rob.

Last car was a BMW 120d 

Handled well (GTI is just as good though IMHO), but poorly made, run out of puff easy and the worst depreciation Ive ever experinced  in a car. £8500 in 18 months. I can not put into words HOW much better the GTI and VW products are over some BMW products for quality.

Dad has 335i Coupe, £40k car and everytime he steps in mine he notes how much better the build quality is. Oh also, BMW paint quality is

really?  that's interesting... would you mind elaborating a little? How do you feel about 335i?
I ask because I REALLY like how 335i coupe with M package looks like

I had a 330 M Sport before the gti and the build quality and finnish was far better than the vw,but as an all round package the gti's better.

I still love that car, looking at it. I really should have given it to the Mrs instead of trading it for the Ed30.

[jonathonturner]

i love my golf, as i said earlier, tis the best all round car i've owned....but i still have an itch that it doesnt scratch..for that i need something a little more sinister...and that sits in my garage for special occasions
