They were starving, put your hands in your pockets and rustle about and they think its feeding time meaning you can't move...

Golf for me.. I got one. 05 GT TDI 140, had it about a year now. Think 13k is way too steep for a 55 reg, unless there's next to no miles on it. Paid 9k for mine with 52k mls on it October 09. GT's have most of the extras on them, a/c auto lights/wipers fogs etc standard, the highline's get all the toys... Dual climate pack and most have leather.
For the price you said I'd be wanting a GT TDI Sport 170 on 06/56.
Economy.. Daily blast from Falkirk to Blantyre along the M8 it returns 59mpg on the way through and 54mpg on the way home.. ermm..
As for getting about in the snow...



I had 18" alloys on when we got hit, 225/40/18 are not ideal! still managed to get out of here with chassis deep snow. Got stuck 2 days later when we got hit with even deeper falls tho
Now back on the standard wheels till the winter is past

3 door 1 Series does look nicer than the 5 door. But I'd still have the Golf over it.

However the 1 series are very popular at work with the company car drivers. Carparks full of the damn things.

But isn't that junior staffers wishing they were the boss in his seven series? The badge is what they are after, not the car.
