Yet again the old hatchback came into its own yesterday, needed a new dishwasher....slipped straight into the back of the golf....

I am seriously rethinking my new car requirements.

Are you set on a bmw? As the S5's have really come down in value recently for 2008 and newer. Just a thought.

I think both the s5 and 3 series coupe look amazing with right bumpers. (Autovogue kit especially)

I am seriously rethinking my new car requirements.

I had my 325Ci while renovating a house. It proved to be an amazingly versatile car - more so than I ever remember the Golf being. Granted you wouldn't be able to put any white appliances in it, but how often does that occurrence arise anyway. I had it loaded with all sorts of stuff.

Given the choice between a Golf and a 3-Series Coupe I'd choose the BMW. I've really fond memories of my old one and definitely plan to get back in one sometime soon.

Recently I have stacked a garden patio set with 4 chairs (non folding) parasol and glass top into the car, the week after a KING sized double bed and memory foam mattress! a Keter Store it OUT XL and to top it all a new Bosch dishwahser! lol

NOT all at once of course, every other weekend but the golf is a car that just keeps giving.

I want a 2008 or newer really for my next car, 2008 is even pushing it to be honest.

whooops....new car on way.... :drool:

2009 330d Msport auto Highline with all the toys....

Got shafted on the trade in though but a good price at the other end...so whilst I hate to give my GTI away for £7500 I am getting a pretty good deal. Pics will follow.

I'd love to sell mine privately and give it to a decent home, but I pick the new car up on Thursday  :drinking: :star:

Cant say how much I will miss my gti I really can't. it was and is a perfect car. It is just time for a change. Anyone looking for a 2005 (55) MY 2006 DSG GTI 3 door Tornado Red with every single extra (except recaro hard backed seats), just serviced, mot fgr full year, 4 new ps3s,  give me a shout you could be in for a huge bargain.

Congrats on the new automobile!!

Not driven the 330D, had a go in a 325D and a 335i also an E46 (I think 2004) M3 and numerous other variations, really like the BMWs. Not get saving for some snow tyres for the coming months  :signLOL:

Nice one power AND economy is a winsome combination.  To be honest £7500 doesn't sound too bad for an 06 plate.  They have taken a huge dip recently it seems.

Wouldn't mind one of these myself but the snow in Aberdeenshire puts the fear in me - snow tyres or not.  :sad1:
