lovely car...

Got a ride in a remapped 335d which pushed around 350bhp

Very quick and yet economical. The only thing I did not like is slow auto box...

As above, depends on how much mileage you're going to do.

TBH two mates have 335d's and although they are quick they still dont' really appeal in the way a gti or R does - yes it's rwd and the build quality is great but it still a derv and if you use the performance you're not getting the mpg.

I'd have the vag unless you're doing big miles in which case I'd say bmw but leave it stock.

A5 3.0tdi is another good choice if you like diseasal coupes.

335d but i am slightly biased :signLOL: to be honest the 2 cars are nothing alike, if you want a fun hot hatch feel then the golf will do that, the bm is not really a fun car its a mile muncher and a very good one at that.

It's never going to drive like an m3 but as an all round family car what did you expect it to do   :confused:

Yeah, I think only the petrol 335i has the DCT 'box.
