that doesn't cost £50 a week in fuel.

Now i can see your pooint, and i understand, same boat. BUT a NEW BEETLE "cumonnn" "cumonnn" surely you can think of better.!?!

Not 100% sure yet, & have never even sat in one let alone driven one, so will see what they're like. Might look at the Polo GTi's as well, but I'd imagine they're a little pricey!?

Hell, you should be encouraging me to swap, means theres an awesome 16V up for grabs, not only that but in the best colour too! :wink:

Again i agree, and i would have it if it wasnt 5 door...... :( no offence.

If you want economy maybe a mk6 feista zetec deisel or something!?

But i reckon, that you will get this new diesel, be it a bettle of something else, and will want the power back of the gti soon after!

Defo want to stay VW, I enjoy the GTi just fancy a change & the amount I fork out a month on GTi bits would cover a new one on finance....

Hahaha.

Just to note the new Polo GTi's are .... well, sh!t. Hardly any dealer options & they look like 4x4's as standard!

Hmmm, decisions decisions :undecided:

Still got my '66 Beetle dude, that's having a 2ltr lump in the back, as for engine change, the idea is to stop spending on the GTi!!
