Im quite tempted seeing as though the insurance looks like it may only be a tad more than my st170, and less than the new st's and civics.

iv'e never driven one, but in my eyes its a golf gti so i cant really see how you can go wrong

also looks better that a golf gti imo, better value for money (due to badge snobbery)

got any pics?

Golf chassis, not as well screwed together inside as the golf or skoda but a good platform and not bad looking if you're on about the latest one

i have one, i regret buying it
seatcupra.net
look on there, you think passionford has alot of problem posts about fords!!

depends what you want of it, they are thirsty, mines mapped and fast but plays up alot even tho everything is new that could cause it
but not all are like it
ask peopel that had them, they will 1st say really good cars then they will reel off the list of what they fixed, wish i knew before i got this one for the missus 26mpg school run! driven like the school run, it seems better when it gets pushed
