K-rado 0 Posted January 15, 2005 For my company car I can choose what I like. Anything from a celica to a bmw or a saab to a skoda. I was going to go for an Audi 115 tdi estate. Loads of MPG and room for anything I like. Taxation is one of the lowest you can find next to the 320d 6speed touring. Then I seen something up here re the new Mk5 Gti. Seen one in the stealers a few weeks back with leather and I remember thinking how far it has come over my last new Vw, a Mk3 VR6. so what would you have. I am not sure how much it would cost me over the year tax wise but i am sure it must be fairly efficient? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geo 0 Posted January 16, 2005 Nice choice to have. It would have to be the golf for me (unless I was paying the fuel bill) I wonder are they going to make a TDI with all the GTI bits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted January 16, 2005 i think the answer on this site will be the new gti! good luck choosing tho! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted January 16, 2005 Gotta be the golf! Although I'm sure the 'R' powered one will be awesome when it comes out. I've heard that they could even be using an R34 engine... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted January 16, 2005 I guess if you can have a new Golf GTI it'd be worth going for. I still really want an Skoda Octavia vRS though! To be honest any good Audi or VW is going to be a good motor - you are in a fortunate position :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted January 16, 2005 people seem to complain about the dead lack of feedback steering for the new audi's but i hav'nt heard a bad thing said about the new gti, if its as good as people say it is go for the golf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M777CUSGTI 0 Posted January 16, 2005 Out of those two mate id have to go for the Golf GTI, superb car. Insted of the car do you get the chance to have the cash equivilant as well? Thats whats was offerd to me this year, i took the cash!If you took the cash you can keep your lovely Storm running :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 16, 2005 Long as you get a VAG car... Skoda Octavia RS, Golf GTI, Audi A4... jus make sure its FUN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-rado 0 Posted January 16, 2005 [quote name= Insted of the car do you get the chance to have the cash equivilant as well? quote] I have worked out the cash and is not great. By the time you have insured your car, Serviced it 2 or 3 times a year, depreciation interest repayments, etc etc, You really are at a loss. In 3 years I would expect that my new car would have circa 80-90K on the clock and not worth a lot. Decided to go for the company car, the Storm is taking a little pounding at the moment. So tomorrow, I will see whats the deal with the New Golf. Wish me luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-rado 0 Posted January 23, 2005 jeeez, Where did that week go? Turns out that the New golf Gti is not suitable for my job! and therefore not on the list.........Selected a BMW 320CD Conv instead. :D 2 reasons, I want to see what the hype is all abt and secondly toshow the world that at there is considerate bmw driver out there. :lol: tough life ah? :lol: Dare to think that there will be another low-miler Storm to the market :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 23, 2005 .. lack of feedback steering for the new audi's but i hav'nt heard a bad thing said about the new gti ... I've heard the same said of the Golfs too. They aren't as dead as the Audis, but they aren't in the same league as the Corrados though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted January 23, 2005 Dare to think that there will be another low-miler Storm to the market :wink: You're having a laugh right?? After organising the MK meet and all that, you're now just gonna go leave us?!? :cry: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 24, 2005 I'd get the Golf too. Apparently the MK5 GTI is a sensation and just what VW GTI fans have been waiting for for so long. It's got to be good if Clarkson can't fault it as he picks holes in cars most of us would cut our right arms off to own! The only snag with that car is all the boy racers will be constantly glue to your tailgate. Now I wonder if that independant rear suspension can be fitted to the Corrado? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted January 24, 2005 Oh yeah, and get the Golf :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
