Lol, If you had an undertray, that won't still be there after offroading, lost mine a week before it died lol, despite the massive arch gap, there's sod all clearance under the front! Also I agree with the reliability thing, all cars are unreliable, unless they've had a very good previous life....but you can never know tbh, as said before, the blue golf has full vw service history and look what happened to that (although I will admit the 6k I owned it, it took some serious stick lol)! I still wouldn't say vags are all shit though! Infact I don't know of another car in that budget that does 60mpg with ease, cheap to tax and with a 45quid map and theoretically no further mods an extra 50bhp, plus the comfort and spec and stuff. I mean just look at the Toyota, cheap inside, not really high spec, not really comfortable, poor mpg for the power etc etc.
Also, procta, I had nothing but problems with 4 306s, that doesn't mean I wouldn't own another though. You really can't buy cars on the amount of problems other people have had with them, you'd never buy any car if that was the case lol. For example, my neighbour owns an EVO8, had tonnes of major problems like transfer box failing and has spent an extra 4k on it since buying it....but you can't tell me you wouldn't have one.
