New Car Time - 15k - Scirocco?

[Gibbo]

Scirocco over a golf any day. Golfs became pretty boring after the mk3.

Golfs are like 911's, don't change much as its a winning formula.

Yeah a 350/370Z is just not me at all! A VW could be my thing. Gonna go test some on Saturday!

Have you considered the A3?

Actually one of these drove past me on the Motorway this morning. Not a bad looking car if not a little tankish.

Tankish? Its the same platform as the golf, just a bit more "premium"

Woah, full leather GTi, good job as that nasty Burberry cloth always put me off a GTi

Corrected that for you, You appear to have made a mistake

Yeah a rare find, the cloth is ok IMO but I know it isn't to everyone's taste.

Haha I quite liked the vr6 GT mk3's even if they rusted faster than they drank fuel

 

[ahenners]

£15k seems far to much to spend on a dull fwd hatch (it's not a coupe in my world)

Agreed. I've always looked at it as a golf with a fat ass

That apparently does the same mpg as my 1.6 308. Very nice!!

Yeah the 2.0 tsi is pretty economical for a petrol turbo

Well I never thought it would happen but you finally made me lol

Also colour me unknowledgeable but whats this DSG all about. Is the 1.4TSI actually a pretty nippy car?

 

[mjt]

Have they dropped that much already?! Bargain. The Mk6 GTI is brilliant.
I quite like the cloth seats!

FWIW, get one with Dynamic Chassis Control if you're on 18"s.

DSG is a dual clutch semi automatic gearbox.

I think the TSI came in 140 and 170 variants - how nippy it is depends on your perception! Try one if they appeal

In the golf mk 6 and scirocco they came in a 122ps and 160ps. The 122 is Turbo only, and while not slow certainly isn't fast or 'nippy'. The 160 is twin charged (super and turbo) the Supercharger handles low in the rev range, the turbo kicks in about half way up for a pleasantly flat torque curve and smooth power delivery. At circa 8 seconds 0-60 it would fit into most peoples 'nippy' description and is rewarding enough to drive.

avoid this if it is the turbo and supercharged version. many problems.
