I had a quick look around the astra but there weren't any i liked there, apart from the VXR which was well... the vxr (vxr = good!)

no i never mate, didnt get there until about half 4, and just wanted to get home really. No one wanted to talk to us either, praps because me and my dad had gone straight to work and were in our scruffs, so praps thought, they won't buy anything anyway.

VXR was sold I think my dad was tempted.

Was thinking mk4 golf, but i want something fairly new, tempted by the mk5 golf, they look nice with some nice subltle mods

My Dad has a Mk5 Golf 2.0 GT TDi with 140bhp. Its very nice, comfortable, doesn't handle too bad and the interior is good too. Quality car! you wouldn't be dissapointed.

Tried a Mk5 Astra before he bought that and it just wasn't as nice. But it wasn't bad

look very nice that, im totally unsure of what i want, i suppose a test drive would sort it out really. My mums got the mk6 polo, which is nice to drive but bit dodgy round the bends, doesn't hold the road to well, but that could be the tyres i suppose

I've been in the latest Polo and the Golf is a different league. The Polo has a very cheap feeling interior. You will see what I mean when you go in a Golf.

And my Dads Golf handles pretty well
