I'm at a loss on what car to get next
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:49:57 pm »
Firstly let me start off my saying I am impatient and impulsive so I have decided to sell the GTI after 2 months.

I'm just utterly stuck on what to get next.

I need to free up some funds, so the GTI is going and I'm looking to spend £4k on a car.

I want.

TDI
140BHP Min
3 or 5 door
Comfy for longish trips every few weeks
Well spec'd with Xenons, Sound system, arm rest.

Any suggestions?

I've been playing over and over

Astra SRI 170 CDTI
Bora 150 Highline
BMW 320D

Hard to find one without very high miles at my price bracket

Although this is a beauty

MK4 TDi Anniversary.....

I do miss my MK4 in some ways, but I've had 3 of them now, and after the MK5 I'm not sure I could go back to a MK4

Fair play, I could never go back to a Mk4 either, but what about the Mk1 Leon Cupra (or was it FR?) TDi 150? Much better looking than the Mk4 as well.

Plus any of the MK4 PD150's (Golfs, Boras and anything else with the ARL engine) that have reasonable mileage on will want a new camshaft and followers if it hasn't been done already. My old MK4 died a slow death due to incompetence of a local VW/Audi 'Expert'  :fighting:

I'd go for the Bora then mate. I love the shape of those, and never understood why VW went back to the Jetta name.
