Back in my own wheels. But which?
I'm buying a car, to have my own wheels again. But this time having to pay for it and being new means I have to minimise other expenses related to it. Which inevitably means going diesel. Again. Maybe I should move to abu dhabi or something. But that would actually prove more expensive.
Probably. Anyway. Basically the breifing is as follows: diesel, manual, no downsizing malarkey, around 140bhp and around 25 grand is the maximum. Here is the short list of candidates (and my pros and cons): Seat Ibiza FR TDi 5 door Pros -Cheapest -Well equipped (altough xenons and bluetooth are options) -Frugal -Fast Cons -Boy racer image and detailing -Not as well suited at motorway driving as bigger cars -Silly low profile tyres -Sports suspension Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDi Advance 5 door Pros -Big(ger) fuel tank -More suited to motorway driving -Cheapest "Golf" -Comfortable suspension and sensible wheels -Most spacious and practical Cons -No Xenon available (not even as an option) -Thristiest -More expensive than the Ibiza (about 3 grand) -Not as well equipped as the others Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDi Bluemotion Technology Pros -As much car as a Golf -Cheaper than an equivalent Golf -Distinctive styling -More frugal than the Golf thanks to the BMT package -Better equipped than all the others (Xenons and bluetooth as standard) Cons -The most expensive by far -I'm not sure it fits in my garage (too wide) -Somewhat slower than the Golf (less aerodynamic?) -Stupid big wheels (225/45 R17) and sports suspension Ok, that's about it. HALP! (Please)
