    But you drive a Vauxhall.
    A lot like all the other cars you've owned, then.

    Shouldn't you be getting ready for bed, anyway? School tomorrow.

    I would spend a couple of grand more for the Audi A3 equivalent. Audis are much more desirable.

    I had considered the A3 but the spec is no where near as good for the same money

    Just satisfy yourself that the engine is reliable. Lots of problems with it over the years.

    How would you recommend doing this? Took it for a test drive on small road and motorway and seemed fine. Any thing you would advise checking for?

    You obviously believe everything you read on the internet. Do you really think I was being serious about driving a Corsa in an expensive car thread? LOL how gullable are you?

    Also, limited black edition VXR doesn't even exist lol

    I don't believe anything you post under your numerous AE's and I don't think many other do either.

    Takes one to know one. How many browsers are you running to keep all these AEs going?

    I've got a 2014 ACT in my Leon (slightly tweaked to 150 bhp) and have to say it's the best engine I've driven in a long time for balance of performance (smiley face) and economy (mid-50s on my mixed daily commute). Can only imagine that the Golf would be similar with higher residuals...

    So you'd recommend spending more to make it more desirable to other people? I'm assuming there the O/P finds that particular Golf desirable, so what would spending more prove?

    Going by the usual A3 owner in my area, you'd be spending a couple of grand more to look like a complete male chicken, A3 and BMW 1 series seem to be the favoured chav mobile.
    I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world
