Nah, no way I am buying a Fabia!

I like having a nice car, I drive much better than I ride and I also get a lot of enjoyment from my car so it's much more than an A2B thing really.

I'd go for the golf because i just prefer the look of it and dont particularly like BMWs. Was given a 3 series diesel with the M Sport pack on it as a courtesy car while the mondeo was being repaired and I just didnt rate it at all, was glad to get my mondeo back!
Plus I almost bought an older golf GT Tdi last year but got a Focus ST170 in the end

Gold, 'cos when it snows, you'll still be able to get around!

Plus, you're not a hairdresser!

Choices are:

BMW 1 series 118d M Sport

or

Volkswagen Golf Mk5 2.0 GT TDI.

So I am going to put up a poll and then you lot can help me decide. Would be appreciated if you also gave me a reason for your decision!

Thank you please!!
So there!!!!

I have spent plenty of time this year pushing BMW's and Audi's off the estate in the snow. I'd get the Leon is just looks so much better

The Fabia is a poor man's Polo, not a poor man's Golf.

I love my old Beemer, it's a W reg but soooo comfy. And memory seats are a godsend when your husband is a foot taller than you. But it is a 2.8l 7 series! My perfect little runaround to pop down the shops and drive Mr LPH and all his mates to the pub.

What you really need is the Seat but to have Treacle drive you around - that works for me.

Correct. Police officers do not drive hearses. The Golf is really sweet. The Beemer is one seriously ugly vehicle. And it has dead people in back.
