If golfs hadn't been so ridiculously high priced to buy I would have had another. But the choice between a 12 year old high miler golf or a 6 year old top spec average mile Vec/mondeo it wasn't a difficult choice lol! Golfs are nice, but they certainly aren't worth that much in my opinion.
So I'm trying something completely new to me, had no luck with pugs, vag is nice but way overpriced so trying out vaux now...
good for you in trying a different car make, lets hope all is well for you this time, you never know you mite want a nice saxo xud and make a vts replica. as I know you don't like to rev a car over 4K rpm or 2k rpm if its a derv.
Yeah.... I've owned it two weeks I think, already had a snapped spring, ruined tyre, duff thermostat and now an engine electrics light. Going much better this time....

Can't see me keeping it long if I'm being totally honest. Shame because its a nice car to drive but it just doesn't give any confidence. On the plus side I fitted an engine crane in it yesterday by just dropping half the backseat...it really is huge inside lol. On the note of revving....I redlined it in 3rd yesterday!
