No you won't. You can have it for a month then sell it if you're bored. Why the 3yr commitment?

I get bored well quick. I had 3 different cars last year Just me I suppose.

I still think the CTR is the best choice and least likely to go wrong.

Tell me a car that isn't common in your price bracket. if you want uncommon you're looking at £60k+ or a car that isn't common pure and simply because its shite.

Golf GTTDI, 150bhp, what do they need to get them that little bit quicker? And they're reliable, right?

Focus's aren't common

You can't use that line for one car and not the other.

I still reckon CTR.

Did you say somethin, Daimo? Which is more common, golf or civic? Yes, Golf, i'm right.

Golf PD150 (as stated) (Or GTi150 if you want to be pedantic).
Or CTR (as in R) model

So yes, the CTR, and exactly what i've said is correct. Read whats written, not what you thinks written.

Oh ffs, you make me have to type this shit don't you...

This all boils back down to the "scoobies are common" bullshit. Did anyone define which scooby they meant? STI, P1, WRX, Turbo2000, GL. No they fuckin didn't. It was a blanket term.

A car is a car. Golf is a golf, Civic is a civic, regardless of the stuck on tat and what engine is under the bonnet. A golf, whether it be a 1.4, a 1.6, a TDI, a GTI, they all look very similar, if not the same. I see more golfs on the road than civics. End of.

I was in the same situation and bought an Astra Coupe Turbo. Nicer on the eye than the GSI (imo) and not too common...certainly not the Turbo anyway.

Talking about a specific car, of which the conversations about. A specific model, (TDi150 and CTR) hence my exact reply about that model specific car.

So yes, im right, and you can't read

Quote me all you want, clearly you have time on your hands (but not quite enough obviously )

Awaits some sarky comment instead of a clear apology saying you've mis-read somewhere along the lines. Far to masculine though.

Golf as a range of cars is more common than civic as a range of cars. There's nothing more to say. Put all the little lol smilies in you like, nobody else is laughing. I'm pretty smug tho, but about other stuff

Totally agree, Golf Mk4 is a very common car, but the PD150 isn't common at all.

Which is what this conversation has been about.

So talk about civics, not about a Civic Type R, which is a type of civic, same as a Golf PD150 is a TYPE of golf

Dammmmmmnnnnnn. Oh, also notes whinge about smilies, then use of them
