Time for a change?
« on: 18 February 2008, 12:45 »
Call it illness, call it insanity but I'm contemplating chopping in the MK3 once it's all back up to standard...

...for this....



Thinking the 1.9 TDI, other 17" alloys, black leather interior, R32-ish Pearl Blue.....

Would be weird experience getting 50+ mpg :rolleyes:

Test driving one on Wednesday hopefully! :tongue:

It is a girls car.

Get a MK4 1.8T instead, much more fun. If you want your 50+ MPG get a MK4 GT TDI 130 / 150.

Hahaha some blindingly expected comments there! :grin:

Always had them figured as a 'girly' car but was in the stealership over the weekend (ordering parts for the GTi  :rolleyes: ) and they had the 'new' facelift models in & they don't look half bad.

Never liked them but the new ones are a little meaner, bigger wheels, crystal lights, sportier suspension etc.

Agreed Mikester, no man under any circumstances should drive a convertible, and I wouldn't, but the hard top, 1.9 TDi (105PS) looking very similar to the above, just looks.... well, good!

Reminds me of my last bug...

I'd love a GT TDi but they arn't that 'available' & seem to be quite pricey for the age/mileage on them. Never had a 'new' new car, & I'm not a fan of the MK5's & the GTi's are too expensive. Like the idea of something in a lower insurance band that doesn't cost £50 a week in fuel.

Got a 'project' in the garage & the MK3 is sucking up all the money I try to put towards the resto!
