i was just looking at the Golf, i can get the top of the range 140BHP GTI Sport diesel or 2L petrol in 5 door for around 30K.
im really really like the new peugeot 407, glad to hear its build and feel is a match for VW. i was in the new toyota avensis yesterday, fantastic car also, very classy interior, super solid finish, very chunky feel and touch, reminds me of my dads c-class merc, plus the boot is freaking HUGE.
