What car to buy?
#1
Right just got a tax rebate of £1230 Big Grin so probably looking to get a new car while I can. I'm thinking of going for a HDi.

What would you recommend?

GTi's aren't that bad on insurance, mine was marginally more than a HDi to insure

Tbh I'd have thought it wouldn't be too much worse on fuel than the 1.4, because you use less throttle getting around due to the higher torque/capacity etc..

I averaged about 25-30mpg driving one daily, but on the motorway they aren't bad on fuel, some see 40+mpg.. really depends on your driving style and whether it's largely town based etc..

I'd recommend a HDI, reasonable power with good economy.. you'll love it compared to your 1.4 I can assure you! Couldn't you technically fly from Brizzle to Stansted? Tom might even pick you up from there...

Hmm true or even a train I think a HDI will be better insurance than a GTi6 is £450 a month for me! A HDI is only £240 which is only £20 more than what I'm paying now!

I love the way welsh pug just assumes you have debts!! LOL


But anyway HOW MUCH???? £220 a month for a 1.4 what does it cost you a year??? That is a fecking ra*e. I suppose its the joys of getting old you dont realise how much younger people a beimg taken for a ride. If it makes you feel any better i insure a gti6 upto 260bhp for £40 a month Tongue


Go hdi mate well worth for an extra £20 ThumbsUp
