1.4 petrol golfs, anyone know much?

i found a lovely 1.4 lupo with an autobox i liked but they look tiny

 

The Civic`s looking pretty good against this lot .....

 

Mrs TW has this.

But being a 1.6 I can't help, sorry

 

Inside the are huge seriously

 

Had a MK4 1.6 Golf for 10 years, loved it , sold it to a neighbors son and he's happy with it 1 year on, its done 150k now!
bought a 1.4 MK5 kept it 2 months, guttless!!

 

trouble is, the road tax on the petrol golfs is mental the 1.4 is bad enough..... the diesel i just got is £130 a year the 1.4 is £180

 

1.6 £205
1.8 £285
2.0 £265

 

Thats peanuts, my Merc costs £465 a year

 

if you can afford a merc you can afford to tax it though! we are talking a £1500 max car for running to the shops and work etc

 

they should put it on the fuel and have done with it

 

Fair point, well made.

 

Put some French plates on it.

 

I agree but it will never happen. Businesses with large high mileage fleets would go nuts.

 

One of the best cars we have ever had was a Ford Ka. Dead reliable and cheap as chips to run. It also had loads of room in the front, though the back seat is only suitable for small kids/midgets, and an absolute hoot to drive.

 

Get something you would like to drive [as a second car]then convince the wife you have done the sums...

 

i've had 5 of them
