Why have Hamburger when you can have steak?
Having driven one recently I was actually impressed by the torque and speed of it, from the outside it was lovely too.....however.....sorry imho the inside was about as appealling as a skip...cant believe that there is no split a/c and arm rest etc....Great economy though, but from the inside its just the same, or less than many, other standard golfs out there.
Not sure where you are located mate however....Arnold Clark in Glasgow had a lovely silver 170BHP on a 57 plate with 8,000 miles...sticker price was £15,998, I asked it to come down to £15,500, ....not unreasonable I think given that it was the end of the month and the new registrations were just due out...they wouldnt move at all, so I walked. The Arnold Clark in Dundee Balfield had a dsg with cd (but no flappy paddles) for £16.7k again they wouldnt come down to £16,200.....£16,500 being their best price. Just so, you know. PS DO NOT BUY the black one at Arnold Clark in Springburn Glasgow, it had about 19k miles on the clock, I hear that some half wit in the garage took it out for the weekend and trashed the gear box...he apparently ran over something and ripped it out...BE WARNED.
