This is a great feature in the summer.
Mine can take a warm can of Pepsi Max and make it too cold to drink in about 20 mins.
Which of these cars would you chose and why?

Ok...
Today was test drive day.
I don't like any of them apart from the VW's lol.
I am going to get another Golf I think.
All of the other cars just feel cheap and un-responsive (steering not acceleration) I couldn't stop comparing them to VW's and none of them cut it.
Would a Leon feel the same as a Golf? Or would it FEEL like a cheaper version?
Thanks,

That's odd. I actually think that the Focus has a much better interior and is better to drive, principally because it has heavier steering. The steering in the Golf is just too light. Nevertheless, if you like the Golf then go for it, it's a very good car.
The Leon actually shares the same platform as the Golf, so I imagine will feel very similar to drive. I can't comment on quality though as I haven't driven one.

The reason I suggested the 2 litre Focus is because while I believe the Golf to be the superior car in terms of refinement and build quality, the 1.6 engine is, I feel, underpowered. The Golf is a heavy car

Do you have any idea what you are looking at? Why would you source either a 1.9TDI or a 2.3 V5? They are totally different. The sort of person willing to put up with a 1.9 TDI would not entertain a 2.3 V5.

lol I don't know. All I know is there are a few of each about. I'm used to a TDI or a V6, I don't really want another V6 because they are VERY thirsty, I've not tried a V5 but figured it's between a 1.9tdi and a 2.8V6?
Please enlighten me
You realise that the Mk5 Golf isn't available with either the 2.3L or 2.8L V6? Furthermore, the (Mk4) V5 is still a V6 despite the name.lol I don't know. All I know is there are a few of each about.

There are plenty of Mk5's about for £6k. What do you see as 'reasonable mileage'?

The 2.3 V5 is pretty thirsty as well. The TDI will be very economical but also very noisy, clattery and annoying.
I've found this:

But I phoned up and the guy said it only has one Key, should I be concerned about this?? He also said he can only accept cash as their card machines arent working and they don't take cheques. It's in Birmingham so it would mean an hour and a half train ride to get there. Also why would they blank out the number plate?
The courtesy car has just been picked up so I need to sort something ASAP.

I can't see anything mate.
What a bloody horrible car, why would you want to buy that? I mean, just LOOK at it. It's just a heap of generic diesel car, and to make things even better wow its got CEAT tyres on it. Stunning.
If you just want to get from A to B and thats it why spend 6k.
They replaced the awful 1.9 TDI in the Mk5 Golf with the 2.0, the 1.9 was retained only for real cheapskates. Which its clear the original owner of that was.

If you really want a diesel Golf than go for the 2.0 TDI, it replaced the 1.9 TDI and is far smoother, more refined, more modern and just...better.
