The BMW looks better and better to drive dynamically than the front wheel drive golf. The Golf is not a bad looker though and could be prettier than the BMW depending on your taste, and dynamically there is nothing particularly wrong with the Golf.
Golf is much better build quality and reliability, cheaper to buy and holds residual much better and can be driven in the snow that Scotland is now getting year on year.
Volkswagen dealers value your custom much more than BMW who only give a s**t if you own 5 series or above. When you have a long list of people waiting for delivery of their next BMW, why would they care if you decided never to buy another?
I voted Golf.

Bage kudos. VW against BMW. Both hold thier own imho. The one thing that the Beemer has that the golf hasnt is RWD. Id have the BM for that and that only. Everything else, id go for a golf.
As for the dealer support. I have had experience on both sides and in all honesty, the BMW service was better and that wasnt even for my own car. Aftersales on all brands is poor imho.
I would have the golf because its a great car that will do everything that you ask of it. It doesnt look dated. It is a little dull in the dynamics, but in the real world, thats nothing. The Beemer is good for drifting though ;)
Nic, get the Golf R20 faster than the old heavy R32 |
