I currently have my Mk2 GTi & Mk5 Jetta. Neither of which does what I need them to!
So I started looking at cars that would cover the following requirements:-
Fast - VW - carry 5 of us plus dog - roof bars/box easily available - Sub £10K
Obviously i started looking at MK5 GTi/Ed30/Pirelli/R32's They would be an obvious step up from the Jetta. Plus I like how they go/stop/handle with a few subtle tweaks.
But all of the ones i've looked at locally are over priced junk, or have huge mileage - So i started looking further a field and almost bought an ex-police Superb V6 3.6.
But in the end I settled on this...........
I paid less than £4k for it. Its a 3.2 V6 DSG 4motion (Think of it as a mk5 R32 in a business suit!) The only options missing are the Xenon's, PDC & Sunroof. But to does come with flappy paddles.
Already fitted my stereo, wheels & had a custom exhaust made for it... Lots more to do as/when i sell my jetta & my Mk2. I maybe looking into a turbo or a charger....
