Meet the HDi's replacement :-)

[C2K]

Nice one Simon!

Might be a good idea to ask if you can keep the blue foam though....will be gutting when some knobend inevitably dings it in a car park.

yeah I await the inevitability that is careless twats!

Love it, nice colour too, it's almost purple-y in the second pic.

It's what most of us would spec if we had the money. That's a big difference because we'd be trying to justify it against what our cars cost us - ie. peanuts!

Provided you keep it for as long as the HDi ( 8 years wasn't it?!).

first sentence says 9 lol. Its a very well equipped car actually, most of the good stuff is standard. Ive chosen wheels, colour, stereo upgrade, leather, adjustable dampers and winter pack

Nice car pity about the dealership you got it from
After sales support from the robinsons group is shocking!!
Expect lots of calls towards the end of this month and end of feb to too register early, they will offer you extra discounts, free accesories and free servicing

He wont bother ringing, he's known since day 1 that I wanted it as a 14 plate. I dont need after sales, I want the car, and given im moving to warwickshire in a bit it doesnt really matter anyway.

not sure yours is the best word in after sales service...

The reason they changed the design of golfs apart from with the times is that the latest version costs them something like 15% less to make than the previous one! or so i am lead to believe.

yup, the new mqb platform. You can watch videos about it on youtube. Handles well!

Looks nice. Really nice colour.
Don't expect to get that 68mpg though. my work car is supposed to be capable of 80mpg. Ive had over 80mpg once on the m4 doing 55mph for the entire trip to bath because i really couldn't be asked to drive any faster lol.
Normally i get 45mpg but that is around town and i don't hang about normally.

Yeah not a chance, I already know that. The test is such a lie! First new car though, im buzzing. Tick in a box there!
