The Trouble with Golfs is that they are doing everything well . They then becoming boring because they are good at everything , like the swotty kid at school who were all hated !
The real answer lies within your budget . I have a similar dilemma but have past experience of making the wrong decision when getting rid of my MK3 VR6 and regretted selling it . I cannot see any car under £20k that i would change my ED30 to , therefore the cost to me would be at least £8/9k so will not change .
