Hahaha nah i'm just a bit of a weirdo tbh, genuinely don't fancy new cars, not interesting enough for me. (Having mentally examined this statement and what i think i mean by it, it seems i must consider the level of "interesting" as directly related to it's likelihood of breaking down lol.)
Don't get me wrong, it's quite pleasant cruising around in a top-spec, brand new luxo-barge like the golf and i think i get why you've got one, but it's just not something i'd chose to buy. I'm not sure i'd ever buy a new car at all tbh, maybe my view will change when i'm in a more financially comfortable position, but i doubt it. It doesn't help that the moment you drive it off the forecourt it loses ~30%, regardless of how depreciation proof it's meant to be, and i can't stand wasting money. Seriously, it's like an allergic reaction - i have to bite my tongue when i see someone throwing their sandwich crusts away, and yes i realise how sad that is!
Nobody forced me to post, but i didn't realise i wasn't allowed to either. I haven't come in here with the intention of putting down your new purchase or denouncing everything with a vag badge, just a daft comment, apologies if it upset you. That said, if you don't like someone posting an alternative opinion, don't post a new golf on a 306 forum!
